K8200 Extruder plate for a standard Wades Extruder (50 mm hole distance)

I've upgraded my K8200 with a brand new E3D v6 hot end, utilizing a reliable 1.75mm E3D v6 configuration. To avoid complications, I opted to print an proven extruder design instead of revamping the original setup. This decision was influenced by the hassle of dealing with the non-standard hole spacing that had been plaguing me. You can download the STL file for this solution at the designated link. A suitable infill percentage is between 75% and 80%, as excessive flex may result from lesser percentages. I've found a fantastic extruder on Thingiverse (thing:18379) and highly recommend it to you as well. Its effectiveness is unparalleled. Additionally, I discovered that E3D sells a simple, transparent plate designed to secure the hotend in place, but feel free to create your own; the process should be straightforward. I'm fairly certain there's an existing design available somewhere on the internet. The stock fan included with the E3D v6 appears visually pleasing but emits an ear-piercingly loud noise. Given its diminutive size, a silent operation is unrealistic, and so are numerous 40mm fans that deliver whisper-quiet performance. To minimize this noise, I've taken the liberty of printing multiple holders for different fan types, only to conclude that thing:506958 on Thingiverse presents the optimal solution.
