Questions

How big is the Stepper Controller PCB?

It measures 39 × 39.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Stepper Controller use?

44 parts, built around the ATMEGA328PB-MU and BSS138. 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 Stepper Controller KiCad files?

From the Case-Rocket-Team/StepperMotorControllerBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Stepper Controller.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Stepper Controller design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Case-Rocket-Team before reusing the design.
