Configure for 2.85mm Filament

Does anyone have any reference to guide me through upgrading one or two of my Nextruders to run 2.85mm filament?

I inherited around 30 spools of 2.85mm filament. I’d like to convert at least tool #4 to run the larger diameter filament, maybe tools #4 & #5 both since it looks like the runout sensor will need replaced on the right side for the larger diameter filament. I’m looking for a plug and play option, and will entertain the idea of complete Nextruders so I can fairly easily swap back to 1.75mm when needed. 

Thanks.

I don't think that's possible.

Yeah nextruders don't come in 2.85.  I sort of doubt prusa will do one either.  You are probably looking at something completely custom.
