Firmware and Odd Sized Nozzles
So have a whole assortment of nozzles i want to begin to experiment with, but the firmware for an MK3s only lists the common 4 (i.e. .25, .4, .6, .8), what do i use if my nozzle does not correspond. for example i intend to use a .3 nozzle. Should i simply select the .25 in the firmware? Naturally i'll have to configure the width and such in the slicer while creating a custom preset, but confused about what to enter in the printer firmware itself.. Is it even important? What does it do that the slicer does not account for?

The alert on the printer is just a wwrning. Setting a nozzle size in the printer menu doesn't change any print parameters. I find the warnings annoying since I use a range of nozzle sizes. You can:
- Remove or disable the nozzle check line from your start gcode in a custom print profile.
- Disable the check in the printer menu.
