README
PCB/blackmacro_plate/README.mdTHIS IS NOT A REAL PCB! DO NOT FABRICATE THIS FILE!!!!!!!!
blackmacro_plate is a proxy project cloned from blackmacro_base so I can generate a vector file for the keyswitch plate with accurate layouts.
AGAIN, DO NOT TREAT THIS AS A PCB!! IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE MANUFACTURED EVEN AS A PCB PLATE!! 3D PRINT ONLY!!

Questions
How big is the Blackmacro base PCB?
It measures 182.6 × 130.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Blackmacro base use?
189 parts, built around the MT3608L, 74HC238D, BQ27427YZF and SN74LVC1T45DBV. 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 Blackmacro base KiCad files?
From the KipJM/blackmacro-hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/blackmacro_base/blackmacro_base.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/blackmacro_base/blackmacro_base.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Blackmacro base design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
