! WARNING ! RISK OF LOSS OR DAMAGE ! USE AT OWN DISCRETION ! WARNING !
A replacement for the Insta360 GO2 Magnetic Pendant for those who have lost theirs, like me. I have modelled two versions: one is easier for those new to 3D printing and doesn't require pauses, while the other requires a pause to insert magnets during the print.
The simpler model is easy to print and assemble. Just follow the print settings below and insert magnets when printing is completed. This allows for maximum magnetic potential, but it can also be easy to lose magnets, so glue is recommended.
The complex model prevents the magnets from falling out, but it may be harder to print for beginners.
Both models are made to accommodate any string, rope, or strap up to 4mm in diameter and have a 10.2mm hole for magnets of around 9mm in diameter (because of the inaccuracy of my printer). To account for this, I have attached step files for both versions for whoever wants to use a different magnet. MAKE SURE to use the strongest magnets possible, even if it means paying a premium or having to adjust the STEP file; it's worth not losing the camera!

If you want, you could print this in a stronger material like PETG, but as long as you don't expose it to heat, it is plenty strong enough in regular PLA.
Simple (Magnets)
Simply place the magnets into the designated holes, flip the pendant onto its front push down to insert the magnets. If you want to take them out, take a large flat metal object which magnets are attracted to and simply pull the magnets straight out.
Ideally, glue should be used (but is not required).
Complex (Magnets)
Add a pause to the print on layer 60 (height: 6.00 at .1 layer height) in your slicer. During the pause, place magnets into the holes and press down with a sturdy flat object.
Both (Strap)
