Questions

How big is the Via exerciser PCB?

It measures 46 × 22 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Via exerciser use?

4 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 Via exerciser KiCad files?

From the leoheck/via-manager repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is samples/via_exerciser.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Via exerciser 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).
