Questions

How big is the Mainboard v01 PCB?

It measures 90.2 × 95.9 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mainboard v01 use?

142 parts, built around the EP2W+, MAX4372TEUK+T, MR25H40MDF and PE014006. 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 Mainboard v01 KiCad files?

From the pycubed/hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is mainboard-v01/mainboard.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mainboard v01 design in my own project?

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