E3D V6 Hiflow Quick Change Mount - 40mm fan and 5015 Part fan by xaviervilla

I have included every file that you need to get this set up, so there is no need to go anywhere else for different files.
Background
This is another remix of the Quick-Change hotend for the Creality machines using the E3D V6 hotend.
I've used a lot of hotend mounts for the E3D V6, but the Hiflow mount by Hangtight is my absolute favorite. It's lightweight, sturdy, cools great, easy to adjust height, and is easy to disassemble and reassemble with only one screw needed for the part fan, and one screw needed for the whole duct assembly.
What is Needed
For this remix, you need a Creality machine like Ender 3/pro or CR10, an E3D V6 Hotend, a 5015 Blower fan, a 40mm Hotend fan, some Metric screws, and if you want to be able to easily disconnect all of the wiring to the hotend you'll want some DB9 female/male Connectors
Calibrating Print Area
These values will be really different for the CR10, since I have an Ender 3 Pro.
After installing this mount, the nozzle will not be in the same location as stock, so you'll want to adjust your home position.There may be many different ways of doing this, but I did this by sending the gcode command M206 X-17 Y-10 To offset the home position by <-17, -10> and then M500 to save that to EEPROM. I also changed my bed size in Marlin to the following:
// The size of the print bed
#define X_BED_SIZE 245
#define Y_BED_SIZE 225
So with the home offset of <-17, -10>, my new effective print area is 228x215.
Your exact numbers might be slightly different even with an ender 3, but these values should be pretty close.
