IMPORTANT Top plate is MUST 1.2mm thickness.

Symbol and footprint geometry is embedded in the .kicadsch / .kicadpcb files, so both projects can be opened, inspected and plotted to Gerber without installing anything below. The libraries are only needed to edit the parts themselves, or to re-import them into the schematic.

These are not current KiCad projects — type1 was last saved with KiCad 8.0 and type2 with KiCad 9.0. The library versions listed below are likewise the ones that were current when each board was designed. Fetching today's version from an upstream source may well give you a…
