Questions

How big is the Z Brake PCB?

It measures 55.9 × 35.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Z Brake use?

31 parts, built around the EC2-24NU. 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 Z Brake KiCad files?

From the Project-R3D/Z-Brake-Board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Original_Lulz_Design/Z_Brake/Z_Brake.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Z Brake design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Project-R3D before reusing the design.
