Questions

How big is the Solder PCB?

It measures 63.3 × 88.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Solder use?

8 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 Solder KiCad files?

From the arjav0703/solder repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is src/kicad.kicad_pcb and its schematic src/kicad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Solder design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask arjav0703 before reusing the design.
