Is there a way to tell the fine tune offset wizard what diameter nozzle I'm using

    I feel like if the volume flow rate is kept the same when the nozzle diameter has changed the results would not be very accurate

    The nozzle size is set in the slicer. Fine tune wont really be needed, a standard z offset will get you home if the bed is level.

    This is why you adjust speeds if you stray too far from the standard nozzle size. If I drop to (for example) a 0.25 nozzle there is no way I can print at the same speed... I am not laying down as much plastic. I usually just adjust the print speed linear with the nozzle size change and let the slicer handle everything else.
