I want to learn how to make PCBs, and this seemed like a good idea. I originally was following the Stasis tutorial, but veered away from it significantly. I want to get into meshtastic, so this is awesome :)

Questions

How big is the Meshtastic LoRa PCB?

It measures 30 × 61.1 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Meshtastic LoRa use?

31 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, BQ24040DSQR, ESD7104MUTAG and TLV75801PDRV. 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 Meshtastic LoRa KiCad files?

From the BirryGit/Battery-Powered-Meshtastic-Board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Meshtastic_LoRa.kicad_pcb and its schematic Schematic/Meshtastic_LoRa.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Meshtastic LoRa design in my own project?

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