Questions

How big is the Nixie clock PCB?

It measures 119 × 62 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Nixie clock use?

32 parts, built around the 74HC595. 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 Nixie clock KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Nixie clock design in my own project?

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