Maker Farm Inc. Limited Warranty
1. Limited Warranty. Maker Farm Inc. (“MFI”) warrants to the original purchaser (the “Customer”) that the products purchased by Customer
from MFI (the “Products”) are free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of shipment to
Customer for Products, unless otherwise specified by MFI. MFI will accept returns of any non-clearance, unopened, unused and unassembled
item ordered directly from www.Makerfarm.com, after the warranty your purchase is final and no returns will be accepted. MFI charges a
restocking fee of 20% of the purchase price (price of product, excluding tax and shipping), and in addition the buyer must pay all shipping
charges (shipping charges on the initial purchase is not refundable). Once a kit has left our shop there is no way for us to know how it was
handled. Therefore, only unopened, unbuilt, kits that have no evidence of an attempted build or use will be refunded less the 20% restock fee.
Things like opened/unsealed plastic bags, any marks on the components, etc. Will result in no refund given on the kit. Should you purchase a
kit and begin to assemble it, you will not be able to return that kit for a refund.
2. MFI’s Obligation. The sole obligation of MFI, at its option and without charge, is to repair, replace, or refund the original purchase price paid
by Customer for, any Product or part, which MFI manufactures and which MFI agrees is defective. Repair parts or replacement Products may be
new, remanufactured, or refurbished, at the sole discretion of MFI. All returned parts or Products that are replaced become the property of MFI.
3. Transfer of Other Warranties. In the case of equipment and accessories not manufactured by MFI, if a warranty is extended by the
manufacturers thereof and transferable to Customer, MFI shall transfer such warranty to Customer.
4. Exclusions. MFI’s limited warranty provided herein does not cover: (i) normal wear and tear; (ii) transport damage; (iii) failure to follow
operation or maintenance instructions; (iv) Customer’s negligent modification (including painting or staining wood pieces), disassembly or
attempted repairs of the Product; (v) abuse, misuse or negligent acts; (vi) accidental or intentional damage; or (vii) cosmetic shortcomings which
do not influence Product function.
5. Disclaimers. unless expressly set forth in this limited warranty, MFI makes no warranty of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, with
respect to any products furnished hereunder. MFI expressly disclaims, where legally permitted to make such disclaimer, any warranties implied
by law, including but not limited to any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
6. Limitation of Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL MFI BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,
PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM LOSS
OF USE, PROFITS, OR DOWN-TIME (HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER THE BASIS OF
LIABILITY IS BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), STATUTE OR ANY OTHER
LEGAL THEORY), EVEN IF MFI HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBLITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. MFI’S TOTAL LIABLITY TO
CUSTOMER, FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION AND UNDER ALL THEORIES OF LIABILITY, WILL BE LIMITED TO THE
AMOUNTS PAID TO MFI BY CUSTOMER. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. THE REMEDIES UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE CUSTOMER’S
SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES.
7. Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) Process for Defective Products.
7.1 A Return Merchandize Authorization (“RMA”) number must be obtained from MFI before Customer can return any Product to
MFI for warranty service. An MFI representative will gather the appropriate account and Product information and verify warranty status. MFI
must receive notification of the need for warranty service before the end of the applicable limited warranty period. The RMA number must be
included on the outside packaging of the returned Product. To obtain an RMA number, please contact MFI by email as follows:
7.2 Any approved RMA should be considered provisional, based on verification of in-warranty status when the Product is received at
MFI. If MFI determines that the Product is out-of-warranty, Customer will be notified. At the Customer’s discretion, MFI will either scrap the
out-of-warranty Product or return it to Customer.
7.3 Customer is responsible for all shipping charges for RMAs to MFI, and MFI is responsible for all shipping charges to return the
Product or its replacement to the Customer. Standard Shipping is used to return products to Customers.
7.4 MFI will typically not decide whether to repair, replace, or refund the purchase price for, any returned Product until the returned
Product is received at MFI and the warranty status is confirmed.
7.5 Under special circumstances, if the Customer would like to expedite the RMA process, MFI may agree from time to time to cross-
ship a replacement Product after the issuance of an RMA number but before receipt of the returned Product, but MFI shall not be obligated to do
so. Cross-ship orders require a valid credit card number or credit account to secure the MFI Product. The Customer’s credit card or credit
account will be credited if MFI receives the returned Product within fifteen (15) days of the date on which MFI ships the replacement Product,
and provided further that the returned Product was in-warranty.
8. Discontinuance of Products. Notwithstanding any language in this limited warranty to the contrary, MFI shall have the right to discontinue
the availability of any Product or components or replacement parts therefor, or to make design changes or improvements in the Products at any
time and such discontinuance or change shall not constitute a breach of warranty, or result in liability for MFI under any legal theory
whatsoever. MFI shall have no obligation to retrofit, change or improve Products purchased by Customer prior to the discontinuance or change.
9. Other Rights. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from State to State, and
from Country to Country.
9.1 EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LAWFULLY PERMITTED, THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT EXCLUDE, RESTICT OR
MODIFY STATUTORY RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO WHERE THE PRODUCT IS SOLD, BUT RATHER IS IN ADDITION TO THESE
RIGHTS.

Thank you for purchasing the Pegasus 12” Kit. To complete your build you will need a
couple other items, Piece of Glass, Power Supply, Insulation and Hairspray:
Piece of Glass: 12”x12” then break the corners off to avoid hitting the bolt heads (3/16” or
5mm Thick Minimum if your heat bed relay is built into the Heat bed or 3.5mm thick if you
have a separate heat bed relay). Most hardware stores will cut it to the size you need, Inside
the USA Lowes or Home Depot
For the Power Supply, Insulation and Hairspray see the links at the bottom of the 12”

kit.html
You may also want some filament to print with after you have built your printer.
Makerfarm.com does sell filament and we would recommend using our filament or another
high quality manufacturer. If you want to purchase your filament somewhere else make sure
you get high quality filament, poor quality filament (Amazon and eBay) will jam and cause
problems.
While your printer is on you should always be by your printer, do not leave it unattended
At any time if you have any questions feel free to e-mail or chat via google chat:
elderfarrer@gmail.com
Thanks,

upgraded your Y Extrusions to 20x40 you will want to install the M3x16mm Bolt and
nut shown by the blue arrow in a hole 20mm to the right to allow for the thicker
extrusion, you may need to drill a new hole if your kit didn’t ship with the wider Y
extrusion)
Install the 4 M5x30mm bolts in the 4 larger holes as shown by the Red and Green
Arrows, then install an Aluminum Spacer on the bolts with the Red arrows and an
eccentric spacer on the ones with the Green Arrows. Turn the Eccentric spacers so the
