Questions

How big is the Solder PCB?

It measures 48 × 49 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Solder use?

12 parts. 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 Solder KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Solder design in my own project?

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