Firmware feature request: offset temp for loading filament

Hi,

a while ago i tried to add a hardened steel nozzle to my mini. And failed miserably. As most of you know, steel conducts heat way slower than brass, so it needs to be higher in temp to make this up.

Any time i tried loading filament the extruder grinded into it because the pre defined temps for filaments were to low and it could not be molten fast enough.

What do you think for a setting to up those temps for non-brass nozzles? like an offset like octoprint has it in the gui?

If you want to print special material like carbon, I would recommend this nozzle here:

You don't have to change the temperature and the nozzle is almost indestructible.

The best way to get a feature request like this considered by the developers is to open a new issue on GitHub ( https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/issues ) and mark it as a feature request.
