A month ago I shared this table saw blade storage system. It was a great print and well received, but it always bothered me that it couldn't be printed on anything smaller than a 264mm bed when the standard bed these days seems to be 254mm or smaller. So I refined the design into one that can be printed on anything larger than a 136mm bed... which is pretty much anything that isn't a toy or a 120mm Voron 0.2.

It fits together with hidden dovetails for a clean assembled look. While the fit is pretty good with those dovetails, it does need glue (or something like 3d Gloop) to make it strong enough to trust in the shop.

The main blade tray is assembled from 1x of the hub pieces and 4x of the corner pieces. While you could theoretically print this with a 0.2mm layer height, I printed my test pieces with 0.1mm layers to give the cleanest 45 degree slopes and overhangs in the scarfed section of the hidden dovetails. If you print with anything thicker, at least consider using "precise z" in your slicer so that the heights of the dovetails all end up right. I'd also be cautious with thick outer bridges. I left clearance, but YMMV. These sections are very thin and I needed to squeeze as much quality as possible out of these rather fine features. I also used 1.5mm worth of bottom and top layers to make the important parts in the middle solid.  If you're trying to shave off a few grams, use adaptive layers, a height range modifier, or modifier shapes to decrease the thickness of the top layers around the edge, if you want. 10%-15% is ample infill.

Only print with a well tuned printer. Please realize that the fit of these pieces have to be very precise and if you have too much elephant's foot or skew or over extrusions or pretty much anything that messes with your dimensional tolerances, you're going to have a hard time getting these parts to fit cleanly for glue up.

I've also included a reworked version of the lid and base. Each requires 4x of the base or lid model. To assemble these, start by gluing together two sets of two. From there, place the middles together and twist them until the dovetails align and then use light pressure to squeeze them together. Try a dry fit before doing you gluing as you may need to use a knife or deburring tool to clean up any elephant's foot or over extrusion on the bottom/top surface to get a clean fit.

As you can see from the pictures, this is compatible with the other version I originally release. If you print this tray today and get a larger printer tomorrow and want to print the single piece versions, they will fit together perfectly.
