I am trying to continue building my p3steel, that I started to build 1,5 years ago.
I have assembled the frame and mounted the steppers for the xyz axis.
Altough I have read up on the subject I still can't decide what extruder should I use.
I have a original e3d 1,75mm hotend and a mk8 extruder gear.
What's the best current extruder design that uses mk8 gear and that fits the e3d hotend?

Why not use a Wades style? So much easier to change filament and prime the hot-end by using the large gear.
I've used this design with a hexagon and there are also E3D files included:

Lots of options for cooling fans too.

This also the route I am taking. I had to replace parts in the kit so I researched and found this choice to be the most consistent of most.

Not sure what your budget is like but this may be another option since you already have a V6 [www.thingiverse.com]
