I am in the very early stages of building a Hadron, however I haven't purchased a kit. I am mostly purchasing items for the build from different vendors and manufacturing the rest of the parts using a CNC mill and lathe. I am still undecided about the extruder and the consensus on this forum seems to be that users make up their own "flavours" of extruders from different motors, gears, nozzles, hotheads etc.
I have been looking at the Chinese units available on Aliexpress and Ebay and I am seeking opinion from anyone who has used one as to whether they are reliable or not. The one I am thinking of getting is here

- Aliexpress Extruder - Any recommendations?
I would appreciate any comments from users wiser than I as to whether I should proceed or not. I like the idea that it is an integrated unit and the insulation around the hot end looks to be solid and well made. Some that I have seen which use Kapton tape look a bit flimsy and likely to fail.
