It just utilizes the standard Lawsy carriage mount.  Could also be used to test backlash issues.  I won't be releasing a design yet.  This one lets the pen wiggle more than I'd like.  Also, I want the pressure being applied from a spring so it's more uniform and also adjusts with bed variations.  The slicer settings are dialed in though, I'm looking forward to playing with different settings.
