Insta360 Invisible Dive Case — Replacement Clip

I've broken three clips on my Insta360 Invisible Dive Case for my x3 while playing underwater hockey. Between people kicking them, knocking them around, and generally beating up the housing, these clips don't seem to last forever.

Rather than spending around $100 on a replacement dive housing, I figured I'd try 3D printing my own clips.

I beleive these only work for the first generation of the invisible dive housing for the x3. The x5 and x6 casings seem like they have different clips.

How Well Does It Work?

I've printed and used several of these replacement clips, and they've held up reasonably well.

They're definitely not as strong as the original injection-molded clips, and they don't provide quite as much leverage when closing the housing.

I'm printing them in PETG, so some of that might be due to the flexibility of the material.

That said, they close the housing tightly enough that the images line up properly through the dive case lenses, and I haven't experienced any leaking.

So I can't really complain!

Of course, I'd recommend testing the housing underwater without your camera inside before trusting a 3D-printed replacement clip.

Installation

You'll need to reuse the small metal hinge rod from your original clip.

If your original clip is broken, you'll probably need to break apart whatever remains of it to recover that rod.

If you've lost the rod entirely, good luck figuring out a replacement! It's a pretty crucial part of the mechanism, and you'll need something with the right diameter and length to slide through the hinge.

Here's roughly how I installed mine:

• Remove the broken pieces of the original clip.

• Carefully recover the metal hinge rod.

• Position the new 3D-printed clip on the dive housing.

• Slide the metal rod through the hinge to secure everything.

• Check that the clip closes properly and creates a tight seal.

I personally used some pliers to help squeeze everything together and get the rod into place.

Be careful during installation! Because of the print orientation and layer lines, it's relatively easy to snap one of the small arms off the clip if you apply too much pressure.

You definitely want to be a little delicate with this process.

Final Thoughts

This is a pretty simple replacement part, but it could save you around $100 if your alternative is buying an entirely new dive housing.

I've had decent luck with mine, although I wouldn't expect them to be as durable as the original molded clips.

More Free Underwater Hockey Files

I'm also building a library of free 3D-printable underwater hockey equipment and accessories, including sticks, goals, headgear parts, and other useful designs from the community.

 I'm missing, feel free to send it my way. I'd love to include it and make these resources easier for everyone to find.
