yes they have been updated yesterday

#

I tested both the 9mm and 6mm with weights. The 6mm version held up to 50kg and didn't go any higher than that, and the 9mm is a different design, but held up to 40kg of weight. Both should be much better than previous designs that put too much pressure on the Carriage bearing caps.
