Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

We've all been there, you are calibrating a printer and you load a calibration file.

Only for Orca to moan when using different nozzle sizes - 'line width too small' or 'layer hight cannot exceed nozzle width' are good ones ><

You go through the settings, told extruder what nozzle size you've got, even clicked on the warning that tells you the setting its moaning about and changed it. You can go through every line setting either in global or objects and still Orca will not let you slice the file.

Eventually - even after changing every line the error points too, the error window/link no longer points to a line and just sits there, moaning about a setting you cannot change.

Yet if you go to Eliss pressure advance tool and input the SAME settings, the test works perfectly.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Please give users an option to force a slice, or stop messing with calibration settings altogether

Describe alternatives you've considered

Brute force a slice, regardless of what Orca thinks settings should be.
Stop Orca messing with the settings of calibration tests

Additional context

Keep up the good work.
