Questions

How big is the Fan PCB?

It measures 52.5 × 38.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Fan use?

3 parts, built around the BC517. 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 Fan KiCad files?

From the Acidicts/Custom-Fan repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Fan.kicad_pcb and its schematic Schematic/Custom-Fan.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Fan design in my own project?

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