Made a few tweaks to make the cutter a bit tougher.

This remix of Drop-Turtle's filament cutter adds a few bits of metal hardware:

  1. a countersunk M4 screw as the pivot point instead of the original printed column

  2. two 3mm OD/5mm OD/12mm length metal spacers are used in the mounting holes, to prevent the mounting pressure from squishing the cutter and interfering with the cutting mechanism

  3. two holes for 3mm diameter x 2mm depth magnets are added to help hold the cutter arm, although I am not currently using them because I find the spring strong enough

I also changed the cutter arm a bit to take a slightly smaller blade as the ones I bought from aliexpress didn't quite fit. The original cutter arm from Drop-Turtle's model is compatible with my remix if your blade matches the original dimensions better.
