I gathered several ideas from the net and added variable feathers to the concept as well as a modified track bar for the BOSCH GTS10XC table saw.

The distance of the feathers to the saw blade is given by rotating the board around its Pivot point (axis).

For securing the tracking bar you need two M6 machine screws (about 60mm long, depends on used knobs)

As M6-knobs can be used e.g. http:⁄⁄www.thingiverse.com⁄thing:1780082 for the clamp knob and https:⁄⁄www.printables.com⁄model⁄377037-slim-knob-for-metric-nut-of-din-934-m3-m4-m5-m6-m8 for the flat knob.

The tracking  bar is secured at the saw slot by two excenters (each with a M6 head pressed in and a clamp knob fixed to the end of the screw, see pictures) which are set tight by rotating the clamp knobs and secured  by the screws within the flat knobs. 

The board, the tracking bar and the excenters I printed with PLA,  the feathers with PETG (all 0.2mm).

ATTENTION: It is highly advisible to print the testblock and some feathers first to check the quality of your slicing and printing and your handling abilities with the feathers !!!

The slots are very tight!

The feathers are press fitted into the slots by a light hammer (caution) and the block laying on a hard base!

If all went well and you feel comfortable with the press fit process you can fit all feathers into main board slots.

This design gives you the possibility to choose different feather lengths and also the possibility to exchange defect feathers. 

For further ideas I added a stp-file
