Questions

How big is the Nixie clock PCB?

It measures 184 × 105 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Nixie clock use?

66 parts, built around the ATMEGA328P-PU and 74HC595. 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 Nixie clock KiCad files?

From the capaquino/pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is nixie-clock/nixie-clock.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Nixie clock design in my own project?

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