Feature Request: variable to set stepper current for cutting motion #358

I am using a Filametrix on a standard bedslinger (OG Ender 3) but the X axis stepper skips at normal printing current.

I have edited the MMU_CUT_TIP macro to adjust my stepper current before and after the _DO_CUT_MOTION calls.

This of course throws an error in mainsail because this file is tracked in git and is now dirty. So anytime I update I have to re-edit the file in order for it to work.

A variable to set the current for either the X or Y for printers that are non-standard voron/core-xy type machines would solve this issue.

The Mainsail "error" isn't an error -- it is just reminding you that you have deviated from the default.

You can edit but just know you will have to add back after an update.

I would be interested in a clean PR for this enhancement... if should probably be done through a "pre_cut_user_extension" because which movement stepper is specific to mounting.

Not sure if this would even be a solution to your problem since I've never dabbled with the Filametrix ( It's just too ugly ) but maybe try if you have more luck with a #11 Blade that should require less force due to its angled profile?

It's what I'm using for my Tool Head Cutter... WkOgd44 ...though arguably I'm also using beefier Stepper Motors 😅
