FDM parts - a brief description
Xit 404 manufactures a number of its parts using a process called Fused Deposition
Modeling (FDM) This process involves extruding a thread of plastic and laying it down in thin
layers to build a part. This enables us to supply you products that enhance your underwater
photography and videography.
Care and Maintenance
The FDM part is impact resistant and will withstand most drops from table height. However, as
with all plastic parts, they cannot withstand excessive pressure and force without breaking. Being
careful means handling the product during assembly with a light touch, do not force.
If your part gets wet let it drip-dry for about an hour. If you have to pack it before it is dry then wrap
it in something absorbent such as a paper towel, t-shirt or sock and put it into a plastic bag. This
will keep your other parts from getting dripped on.
FDM Plastic Part Warranty
FDM parts are guaranteed to be free of manufacturing defects for a period of one year from date
of purchase. Unnecessary force can cause excessive wear and possibly break the parts voiding
warranty. Damaged or broken parts will be inspected. If Xit 404 determines that the parts were
misused or abused, warranty will be void. Valid purchase receipt is required for all warranty claims.
Care and Maintenance For your PentaMirror - in and out of the water
1. First is to take the necessary precautions while handling your housing with a PentaMirror attached
Since it sits proudly off the back of your housing it is prone to accidental bumps and hits. The
PentaMirror was designed to pop off if it gets bumped, just pop it back on if this happens.
2. Second is cleaning your mirrors. They are plastic and can scratch easily – always use a soft
cloth to clean them if needed. While on a dive do not touch the mirrors! If they get silted up
or have air bubbles, swish your hand back and forth to push water over them, this will dislodge
silt and air bubbles.
3. If they become scratched you may be able to fix them with a scratch remover compound
available at most underwater camera dealers. This is the same compound used to polish
dome ports. Of course you can always replace them.
4. Once you are done diving and want to pack your PentaMirror, let it drip-dry for about an hour.
If you have to pack it before it is dry then wrap it in something absorbent such as a paper
towel, t-shirt or sock and put it into a plastic bag. This will keep your other parts from getting
dripped on.
