Questions

How big is the Main pcb PCB?

It measures 54.1 × 125 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Main pcb use?

162 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 Main pcb KiCad files?

From the LEDs-by-glowingkitty/GlowTower repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is elec/layout/default/main-pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic elec/layout/button_pcb/button-pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Main pcb design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
