E3D v6 Bowden extruder for Wanhao i3
This include holders of step motor to top frame, x-carrage block for E3D and more.
Need to buy
E3D v6 (j-head) hotend for 1.75mm (include cooling fan, hotend fitting)
PTFE tube for 1.75mm (1 meter) with cold end fitting (I use 0.5m only)
Kit of nozzle for E3D v6 (line is very wide, from 0.2 to 1.0mm)
Fasteners (M3 and M4 nuts, screws of different lengths)
Mounting of the stepper motor
It is possible to mount of stepper motor on the top of printer's frame only. May be I design a mount for another places.

M4 nuts - 2pcs
Short M4 screws (9-10mm) - 2pcs
Cold end
I use:
Stock parts of MK10
kharar's MK9 bowden extruder - MK9_bowden.stl
M3 screws 20mm - 2pcs
Extruder E3D v6 mount
X-axis belt holder is mount on bearing block:
E3D_hotend_base_v1.0.stl (need add support in nut's holes) or E3D_hotend_base_v1.0_wSupp.stl - 1pcs (infill 50-60%)
E3D_hotend_clamp_v1.0.stl - 1pcs (infill 50-60%)
X-axis_endstop_holder.stl - 1pcs
M4 nuts - 2pcs
M4 screws (40mm or more) - 2pcs
M3 screws (7-8mm) for x-endstop holder - 2pcs
Stock M3 screws for mount cable chain - 2pcs
Stock M2 screws for mount x-endstop - 2pcs
X-axis belt holder is mount on screws in back side:
E3D_hotend_base_v1.0.stl (need add support in nut's holes) or E3D_hotend_base_v1.0_wSupp.stl - 1pcs (infill 50-60%)
E3D_hotend_clamp_v1.0.stl - 1pcs (infill 50-60%)

M3 screws (7-8mm) for x-endstop holder - 2pcs
Stock M3 screws for mount cable chain - 2pcs
Stock M2 screws for mount x-endstop - 2pcs
What else need to start?
You need desicion few questions:
If you install this extruder, than change height of nozzle. It will be higher than stock extruder. You need move the Z-axis endstop below. Not more Z-axis adapter can move down. I desing this simple adapter, you can use it. Print this before installing extruder!
It is not critical. In this extruder nozzle misses on the bed. You can make Y-axis endstop adapter and fix it.
Modifications
You may have noticed a lot of holes in mount extruder. This is done for easy mount additions and need M3 screws (7-10mm).
You can make Wire_clamp.stl for fixing wires.
Cooling
I make the adapter (Fan_holder_for_saldots_design_v1.0.stl) for saldot's desing fan holder. One adapter include:
Fan_holder_for_saldots_design_v1.0.stl - 1pcs
M3 nut - 1pcs
M3 screw (20mm) - 1pcs
M3 screws (7-10mm) - 2pcs
And I design mount for radial fan 50mm, it is very efficient. But printing is not simple: you should be able to make bridges.
Radial_fan_50mm_mount_v1.0.stl - 1pcs
M3 nut - 1pcs
M3 screws (20mm) - 2pcs
M3 screws (7-10mm) - 2pcs
Radial fan 5015 (size 50x50x15mm) - 1pcs
Problems
Maximum printing height is main problem in this realise. Height 160mm is limit for non-problem printing. If extruder lifted higher than 160mm, then PTFE tube rubbing the stepper motor.
In the feature I desing new mount for stepper motor. This will increase the height of the print.
Give back "I Made One", please. This is pleasant for designers))
