Hard to tell from the picture you showed.

More views from different angles are required.

Re: need support for this print?

this one!?

it looks like there is a shaft with a plate / disc at one end, a square shaft going into the handle and a blanking plate on the face of the handle
there are channels in the face of the handle and the face of the locking tongue.

if you model the blanking plate as a separate item, then the rest of the handle could be on the build plate, with the handle boss and handle tail / return built into the air.
I would suggest not replicating the channels in the handle, because they will fill with support and may be difficult to remove. making the handle D section will be easier to model and provide a cleaner print,
the corner between the handle and the tail is currently radiused i would suggest chamfering this at 45 degrees so there would be no support needed there.

the locking tang also has channels which are probably un-necessary, consider modelling this as a smooth slope.

then when you slice the model, the support will be restricted to the tang area and the hole where the blanking plate covers the securing screw and washer.
I would suggest modelling the blanking plate flat on the outside, and printing outside down, similarly if you are modelling the shaft and plate, make the plate face smooth, and print with the plate face down and the shaft vertical...

best wishes, Joan
