Questions
How big is the 32Bit shift register PCB?
It measures 100 × 54 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the 32Bit shift register use?
64 parts, built around the ESP8266EX, 74AHC595D and AMS1117-3.3. 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 32Bit shift register KiCad files?
From the MaltWhiskey/Mega-Cube repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Electronics/32Bit shift register v2/32Bit shift register.kicad_pcb and its schematic Electronics/Mega-Cube-Board/Mega-Cube-Board(om en om).kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the 32Bit shift register design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MaltWhiskey before reusing the design.
