3D printed Masks

I'm printing a test now with the PLA filament we had, the time estimate to print is 3 hours and 51 minutes.

So a few of questions: does anyone have a printer that used 2.85 mm?  Can we buy a nozzle that work with 2.85 mm filament for our printers?  Is there any where else we can buy the filament?

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards and take care,

Karen
