Print two copies of the tray, one each of the squares, and two triangles.

This is still a work in progress. Suggestions about how to make the tray easier to use are very welcome! There is a hole in the tray that you can put a bit of 1.75mm filament in to attach the two pieces together and let it "spin." This works, but the join is very weak.
