Questions
How big is the Validation Cube PCB PCB?
It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Validation Cube PCB use?
20 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 Validation Cube PCB KiCad files?
From the shBLOCK/WorldCube repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is tools/tmp/Validation_Cube_PCB/Validation_Cube_PCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/WorldCubeProtoV1/WorldCubeProtoV1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Validation Cube PCB design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask shBLOCK before reusing the design.
