Summary

This is a remix to make z carrier on Project: DrawingBot by MakerC a little bit easier to use as I couldn't figure out how to get the servo to reliably lift/drop the pen. I basically just combined it with the Rack and Pinion ABL Probe by tjn914. I scaled the gear from tjn914's project by 300% on Z and integrated the rack(?) with the Z-carrier. I also beefed up the bits on the Z-Support piece because mine kept breaking..

Used 123D Design to stick it together.
