For whatever reason, the top piece warped despite what appear to be basically perfect supports.

Not sure why it would warp there, perhaps infill percentage is too high?

If you don't need the layer lines to be in a specific orientation I'd consider rotating the model back 90° for the reprint, hopefully that should avoid any warping.

That does seem to be a good suggestion. I think I'll do that.

@Militias @mortalic Yep, that is what I would have done, better to avoid supports at all costs. (but layerlines as said)
