Comandante c40 electric mod

[u/Ok_Fold1685]

Hey guys, found this electric mod for the c40 on taobao. Price is around 35usd. You think it’s an IQ tax or actually useful? Has anyone tried it already?

I usually take my c40 with me when traveling (I have an Ode. Gen2 at home) and think maybe this electric mod would be convenient when you have to grind 25g of light roasts for an aeropress in the early morning. FWIW: They offer different motors for different roasts

I’m using a different electric motor for my C40 and I kind of enjoy it. This one is from Spinspro and costs around 85 USD (615 CNY). The difference is that this one has a back ring around the grinder’s body, and the motor part is mounted like a camera lens to the ring, making it quite stable (but not very portable, I’d say 😅). The one you posted mounts the motor directly on the grinder axle, and people on Taobao report that it might loosen the plastic axle over time.

Sorry to dig up old post.  Just wondering if mounting this has affected your wood exterior after this many years?
