These two vices can be used to repair your broken gimbal mount struts for the DJI Mini 2 (and maybe the Mini 1, I haven't tried this though). The fit should be tight, and the gimbal should snap into place easily.

Required for repair are the epoxy (I used Bob Smith Industries (BSI) Slow Cure 30 Minute Epoxy Glue {BSI-205}) and some epoxy specific mold release. 

In order to make the vices more secure, 4x m2.5 screws & 4x square nuts can be used for the big struts and 3x m2.5 screws & 2x square nuts can be used for the small struts. The vice for the smaller struts uses one screw in the middle, this should not be tightened in all the way at risk of damaging the vice itself. 

Print the parts at the finest & slowest settings, spray key areas with mold release, put epoxy on what needs to be repaired, and snap the struts & gimbal into place.

PS. I also sanded the parts a little bit for grip, and added some thin fiberglass strands for strength, these can be epoxied alongside the damaged areas. This may not be super necessary, but better safe than sorry.
