Questions

How big is the ZAxis PCB?

It measures 55.9 × 45.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ZAxis 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 ZAxis KiCad files?

From the adammhaile/CyberPlotter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ZAxis/ZAxis.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ZAxis design in my own project?

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