Questions

How big is the Boost converter PCB?

It measures 150 × 101 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Boost converter use?

11 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 Boost converter KiCad files?

From the jschli/ME433 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HW_15/Boost converter/Boost converter.kicad_pcb and its schematic HW_15/Boost converter/Boost converter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Boost converter design in my own project?

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