Pen holder

In order not to damage the pen with too much pressure, I use floating mounts: The pen holder is attached to a linear rail that is moved by the Z-axis or servo.
- When the pen is pulled up, the linear rail is raised until the pen no longer touches the paper.
- When the pen is set down, the pressure is created by the weight of the pen and the linear carriage, not by the force from the z-axis. I use floating mountings: the weight of the pen is enough contact pressure
