Thanks! We have not had any issues, in this version. The bottom 4 linkages are made thicker than the other ones because they get the most force on them. But since that, no. It also uses 4 springs inbetween to help lift it. We had 3 in that video here but we added another one and its incredible the difference between 3 and 4 springs
