Wanhao i3/Maker Select/Cocoon Create Titan Extuder mounting plate by SirPrintyMcPrinterperson

Update (7/31): Achoo01 and I talked on reddit and he found me on here and gave me an idea about improving the Titan mounting plate. It'll either be a version 2 of the mounting plate or a legit X carriage, so stay tuned for more.
Update (7/27): Fully updated version that uses M4 button head screws.
Update (7/27): After much consideration I have decided ton redesign the mounting plate so it'll use button head hex screws instead of socket cap hex screws because buttoned head heads are smaller than socket caps and will allow for more area to be gripped by the screw. I'll boil it down for you. The mounting olate itself is 7.5mm thick, M4 socket cap heads are 4mm tall meaning (I made the counter sink hole the same height) you'll only get about 3mm actual mounting with the M4 screws. As for button head screws the head is about 2.2mm tall (I rounded it off to 2.5mm when redesigning the countersink hole depth) so now you'll have 4.5mm of plate gripping the screw. I'd recommend you use M4 button heads a that are 12mm ifor you're using the stock metal bearing blocks screw which will give you 7.5mm of screw grip into the bearing blocks, but if you're using 3D printed bearing blocks the the ones designed by user thustvedt I'd recommend something like 16mm in length which will give you a longer 11.5mm screw grip into the 3D printed bearing block but if you want to use the 12mm button heads I won't stop you but I do worry you'll get a lesser stronger bond. I'll post the newer mounting plate later on tonight because as if right now I am on the road heading to a vacationdestination, but I thought I'd update this page I'm out on the open road.
Update (7-25): I fixed some minor mistakes on the mounting plate so if so please get the new and improved version! Also there's not a lot of space to put in a print cooling mod, so I'm currently creating my own. I'll release it within a week.
So I wanted a Titan + E3D V6 on my Wanhao i3 but couldn't seem to find a mount for it (except for an eerily similar Titan mount for the Zonestar P802M, but it should be noted that I did not remix this from that) so I came up with my own. It is now designed for the used of M4 button head screws (I originally designed it to use socket head screws). Now if you leave your Wanhao i3/Maker Select/Cocoon Create as is this Titan mount will crash into the top bar thingy so be sure to use the 3rd-rail Z tower brace created by user delukart. That's all I have, have a nice day and happy printing!
PS: I used some random titan spacer I found on here, but I can't remember who made it so I'm sorry to whoever made it I can't give you credit. Big shout out to you for sure, and if I ever remember who you were I'll be sure to credit you.
PSS: You can use the stock extruder motor for this set up, but it'll crash into the other side of the X axis and you'll lose X length, so I highly recommend you a 18Ncm NEMA 17 pancake motor which can plug into the stock extruder plugin and you don't have to do any wire replacing. If you want less power like some Titan users do you could use a 13Ncm NEMA 17 pancake motor but I do not (emphasis on not) recommend doing that because the 13Ncm version doesn't have a plugin but rather the wires are just wired directly into the motor meaning you'll have to totally replace the printer's extruder wires which I don't want to do, but hey whatever salts your soup.
