Questions

How big is the Single PCB?

It measures 17.1 × 17.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Single use?

6 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 Single KiCad files?

From the manofthebees/mxhs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is mxhs-kicad/single.kicad_pcb and its schematic mxhs-kicad/single.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Single design in my own project?

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