Advice on printing very odd shapes

Hey, pretty new to printing, only been at it for a few weeks. I'm trying to print a crankshaft, and I just know that there's got to be a good way and a bad way to get this to print. How do I find the best orientation and settings for my Qidi Q2?

I could use trial and error, but with such a big print and needing somewhat close tolerances to function, I'm looking for advice from any of you who have more experience.

Any advice on figuring out settings for printing would be greatly greatly appreciated
