Is your feature request related to a problem?

In yet another grab of control of a printer I OWN, Bambu Studio does not allow one to use odd nozzle sizes, such as Revo 0.15 and 0.25 nozzles, even though they are readily available for the printer. In the current OrcaSlicer we are currently locked into that Bambu legacy mindset that the only nozzle sizes are 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 and while we can and have made custom profiles, on the Device: Printer Parts screen, we're still limited to those 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 choices, which leads to a warning prompt (which is definitely better than the Bambu hard stop) but one still has to override the warning to proceed with the Revo odd nozzle sizes. This is also relevant to much larger nozzle sizes 1.00mm etc.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to see either more choices for the Device: Printer Parts screen beyond the stock 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 or better yet, a user input option that would accomodate any nozzle size, even nozzle sizes currently not manufactured but that may be manufactured in the future, so if Revo produces a 0.3mm nozzle, or a 0.7mm nozzle, we could simply manually enter that size in the Printer Parts screen and avoid getting the warning when we use it. I'd also like to see it create filament profiles for these nozzle sizes as well, as clearly we're not really limited to 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8.... yet when I add a new filament, it only creates profiles for those 4.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently the process is manually editing filament profiles for the odd nozzle sizes, and then importing them, and bypassing the warning screen about mismatched nozzle size.

Additional context

It MY printer, I OWN it, I'll decide if its okay to print with a 0.15 nozzle or not... not Bambu.
