Uses the bowden extras that came with the e3d v6, and the mk6 filament drive gear instead of an mk8.
Suggested to use a planetary gearbox stepper, or to find and print an add-on gearbox like I did. the mk8 gear gave the stepper much more torque on the filament, and may lose steps with the mk7 at high speeds. The trade off is mk7 gives much better filament grip and less grinding due to the increased surface area contacting the filament from the larger outer diameter.
