I've had things warp, but don't recognise any issues with this shape. It has a very large area - though with diamond shaped holes in it - to adhere to the build bed. The edge overhang is likely to need some supports.
What are the issues your expectation of not being able to print it at all?

I was looking at the photo's and could not tell is it was even flat or where the diamond pattern was positioned. You are going to need a large amount of supports though. Without the stl file hard to say now. Just run it through a slicer and see what it says.
Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.

Of course I've sliced it already to see how it would fit on my printer. It is nearly flat on the back of the diamond pattern, which is the back or bottom. No gret issues there. The only support needed is for the overhanging outside flange and maybe in the centre of the rib in the middle.
Maybe this picture of the back of the original part makes it clearer:
