Questions
What parts does the Nixie display use?
35 parts, built around the MPSA42 and MPSA92. 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 display KiCad files?
From the eszkadev/nixie-clock repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is nixie-display/nixie-display.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Nixie display design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
