Questions

How big is the Multimeter PCB?

It measures 90 × 130 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Multimeter use?

194 parts, built around the MCP6002-I/P, TSV634IPT, CT138 and BD4835G-TR. 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 Multimeter KiCad files?

From the PreferLinux/open-source-multimeter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Electrical design/Multimeter.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Multimeter 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).
