Digital manufacturing files (including but not limited to STL, 3MF, STEP, and other CAD formats) are sold "as-is" without any warranty of any kind. SilvaDes LLC does not guarantee that digital files will produce satisfactory results on your specific equipment, as outcomes depend on your printer calibration, material selection, slicer settings, and environmental conditions.
All digital product sales are final. No refunds, exchanges, or credits will be issued for digital file purchases.
