a couple of suggestions are:

I don’t know if you could have the 2x4s on edge or if they would need to be flat to keep the belts from angling up. another option would be to have a 3d printed corner piece, along the lines of the image below and socket boards…

I can’t find the thread for the disccusion quickly enough to post a link, but  
there’s also a version that uses 6 boards with half-lap joints to make a frame  
on top of sawhorses

I haven’t heard of anyone using threaded inserts, but I was thinking of that for  
these frames (or bolts that go all the way through)

one thing to watch out for. When you disassemble and reassemble the frame, even  
small variations in how square it is will affect your cuts, so you may either  
need to do a calibration each time you assemble it, or very carefully measure  
diagionals to get it as square as possible (the x frame on sawhorses should be a  
bit better for this)
