Disclaimer
- I am by no means someone who is knowledgeable when it comes to PCB design. This is my first ever design that has actually been produced.
- This board was meant as a drop-in replacement for the Yuancon/Roxy but due to oversights the board did was not long enough to align to the screw standoffs. (EDIT: Upon further inspection my measurements weren't off. I'm guessing the roxy was meant for the OLDER Yuan boards)
Production
Gerbers are stored in the _prod folder of the repo as gerbers.zip
In JLCPCB you can pretty much get away with the default options offered by the site. Im not sure about other PCB manufacturing services so do your research.

Questions
How big is the Pi pico shield PCB?
It measures 55 × 80 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pi pico shield use?
17 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Pi pico shield KiCad files?
From the Infecta/pi-pico-shield repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pi_pico_shield.kicad_pcb and its schematic pi_pico_shield.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pi pico shield design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Infecta before reusing the design.
