Trouble printing tall, 131mm, and narrow part.

Please see the attached screenshot.  I am printing with PETG.  The first time I printed this, it fell over after 1/3 of the print. (131mm tall)  I added a Brim and this time it detached and rotated 45 degrees. The brim kept it upright, but you can guess the mess.  I am using KORES Glue Stick. I can print this laying down, but would have to use supports inside the tubes. Any suggestions?

RE: Trouble printing tall, 131mm, and narrow part.

You could try tilting the model at 45 degrees
It should be largely self supporting, but you need a small amount of support, to stop the model falling over. 

I used paint on supports to stop the bottom sliding and to stop the slope from collapsing

RE:

Because I print parts for a product we sell, I grew used to using a glue stick to aid in the first layer and the final release.

I cleaned the print surface, flat steal, with dawn and an old scotch brite pad, dried, wiped down with 70% alcohol, added a brim and hit print. (No KORES Glue Stick) The print is complete and I am waiting for the bed to cool completely before I remove it.  Sometimes we forget why we do things......
