Questions

How big is the FakeTecv5 PCB?

It measures 25.4 × 52.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the FakeTecv5 use?

35 parts, built around the XB8089D0, AO3400A, SM04B-SRSS-TB and HYG-5020A. 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 FakeTecv5 KiCad files?

From the mofosyne/roTec_pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Circuit_Through_Hole/fakeTecv5.kicad_pcb and its schematic Circuit/fakeTecv5.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the FakeTecv5 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
