Ok so how should I print this?
I need to make a replacement support that will look the picture this but first I want to know if a shape like this is even possible with 3D printing? If it is possible, then what orientation should I print it?
Thanks in advance!

I would print with the two round legs sitting on the build plate.

If forgot to mention that looks weren't important for this project. Strictly functional.
So I forged ahead and I decided to print it standing on the 'corner' which seemed like it might give all three tubes their best chance to print without inner supports. Slicer added supports around the bottom to hold it up, but I used a blocker above where the tubes started because I didn't want to dig support trash out of the inside. Final result was surprisingly great! Just the way I planned it actually. I guess I didn't need as much help as I thought I might.
Thanks for the comment gkmakeit.

It is a good idea to look for Prusa Prints.
