3D printer users lose hours reconfiguring print settings when switching between different nozzle sizes

Users with multiple 3D printers of different nozzle sizes (0.4mm, 0.6mm, etc.) must manually reconfigure critical print parameters like tip diameter every time they switch machines, even though most settings scale proportionally. This creates friction, wastes time, and increases the risk of failed prints due to misconfiguration. Current slicing software treats tip diameter as a fixed value rather than a percentage, breaking the portability of print profiles across differently-equipped machines.

It would be great if `Tip Diameter` could be a percentage so settings don't break when you change nozzle size

With all the line width able to be dynamic I can create settings that work equally well on my `0.4` machine and my `0.6` machine. Well… Except for the ...
