Downloads

feel free to dig around in my working files in the repo :) but if you just want to order a PCB or print a case, checkout the releases tab.

TODO

Fusion and STEP files will be added soon, I'm just cleaning them up a bit. Also, display cover files are not final, and just a few dimensions will be tweaked in an upcoming release.

Questions

How big is the Boardv3 PCB?

It measures 167 × 122.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Boardv3 use?

91 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 Boardv3 KiCad files?

From the compressionKeyboards/compression4c repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is FlippablePCB/pcbs/boardv3.kicad_pcb and its schematic FlippablePCB/pcbs/boardv3.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Boardv3 design in my own project?

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