I'm slowly (since October) pttuing together a custom Prusa i3 and since I had already sourced the plastic parts, I've ended up with a 3mm Greg Wades geared accessible coldend. Can I use a 1.75mm hotend with this coldend?

It would need to be gripped in the hobbed bolt so if the hobbing is too deep it may not bite. I guess you could put a steel liner in the filament orifice or maybe a ptfe liner (would need to enlarge the hole for a 4mm x 2mm ptfe tube).
