Updating default values to print assist is less aggressive and only activates when spool weight is below 500g (#455)

- Updated cycles_per_rotation value to be less aggressive at 800 for print assist
- Updated enable_assist_weight value to be 500 so print assist start once
  weight gets below 500 grams
