Questions

How big is the Exosuit modular board PCB?

It measures 287.6 × 53.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Exosuit modular board use?

110 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 Exosuit modular board KiCad files?

From the FIGLAB/Kinethreads repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is exosuit_modular_pcb/exosuit_modular_board.kicad_pcb and its schematic exosuit_modular_pcb/exosuit_modular_board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Exosuit modular board design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
