Questions

How big is the Macrotype-1 PCB?

It measures 115.9 × 70.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Macrotype-1 use?

30 parts, built around the 1N4148W. 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 Macrotype-1 KiCad files?

From the PRIMogEnitus/Macrotype-1 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Macrotype-1/Macrotype-1.kicad_pcb and its schematic Macrotype-1/Macrotype-1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Macrotype-1 design in my own project?

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