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

Is there any reason you can't make the model in two separate pieces instead, with the floor and sides as one print, and the roof as another print, to either be glued or clipped together?

I'd think that would avoid the warping problem altogether, plus save wasted filament. Though in all fairness, it would still be nice to learn what's causing the warping anyways, for sake of future prints..

Being honest, I'd printed this 5 or 6 times before with the default supports. Most of the time it was fine but the last two times it was falling over and basically making a messy bridge. So I tried organic supports, which is what we see here.
