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.
@Militias @mortalic Yep, that is what I would have done, better to avoid supports at all costs. (but layerlines as said)
That does seem to be a good suggestion. I think I'll do that.
