If you have the Rigid (Home Depot) 10" Miter saw with the laser line (model MS1065LZA) the insert plate (the orange plastic part) will eventually crack. I couldn't find it on the Rigid tools website but figured, it would work just fine as a 3D printed part. Now I didn't have a dark-orange PLA but with the Prusament Orange PLA at least looks the part pretty well. To print this without crazy levels of supports (not sure it really needed the underside to be shelled out (I assume this was from the injection molding process) but I kept it as is, so you need to print it upside down (logo side to the bed). Because of that you want supports I did it without supports and it worked OK, but not nearly as well as when I reprinted it with supports (the front edge fillet didn't work well). Anyway, The slot will likely not be perfectly aligned with your blade, but it's a whirling blade of carbide death against some PLA so the slot will fix itself (good reason to wear safety glasses! as you always should) Obviously I put the RIGID logo onto the part, but this is not made by Rigid, so if for some reason you sell it, be careful. The original doesn't have a logo, but it looked cool like that! The model was made in OnShape CAD and Fusion 360 (for the logo Emboss). I included the STEP file for those who want to alter this in some way Print instructionsAs above print with the logo side down, and with supports. I did 4 perimeters for strength and 7 top/bottom layers. I thought about printing this in PC blend but that seemed excessive for the purpose.
