Damn my hastiness, I bought the cheapest one from aliexpress a few days ago and it was £8 (plus £1 bank charge) more than they're now selling them in the UK on ebay. Plus the seller has dispatched it with FedEx even though I chose DHL as the courier, so now I'll get a nice admin charge from them. Oh well

I'll post again when it arrives

Hi guys. What do I go for a four bearing one from uk or 3 bearing one from chai?? I can't decide

[Danielroyal25]

Still looking at spindles on eBay and unsure. Had a good price off chai but with shipping takes it up a fair bit.
There's one via solar.jean which I am tempted by, is a four bearing model but only has a 3 pin connector. Is this an issue? Can an earth still be fitted - does it need one?

You could easily change it for a 4 pin connector, or just fasten the earth cable to the spindle body via the spindle mount or tapped hole in the Z-axis, assuming they're all metal.

The 3-pin connector may imply it's an older spindle, since in the past these spindles used to exclusively use 3-pin connectors. Clearly that's just speculation though...as I've already mentioned, my spindle with 3-pin connector from solar.jean has been good and does include 4 bearings.
