Questions

How big is the Heaters PCB?

It measures 200 × 21 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Heaters use?

13 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 Heaters KiCad files?

From the eddyem/stm32samples repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is F3:F303/NitrogenFlooding/kicad/sensors/heaters.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Heaters design in my own project?

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