- KiCadtemplates - These are templates with the PCB outline and some basic components to let you get started with a card design quickly. The ExpansionCard template is designed to be used with the 3D printable enclosures in the Mechanical folder. The ExpansionCardRetrofit template is smaller and designed to fit into the existing Expansion Card enclosures like the DP Expansion Card's. You can copy the folders to the default template…
