Problem with supports

The attached .STL is just a test piece that is part of a much bigger print.  The protrusion is very small.  The whole piece is only 6 mm tall.

I can print the test piece vertically and it comes out perfect. However, it needs to print horizontally as part of the bigger object.

I determined that it needs to print with the smallest layer height possible with supports, but no matter what I do with the supports, it never comes out with a useful print.

Are there things I can do with supports to make this work, or am I just asking the impossible?

Using a Prusa i3-MK3.

The whole piece is only 6 mm tall, with an arc radius of 1.5 mm.

Please post a Zipped up .3mf project file exported from PrusaSlicer, and I'll take a look and see if I can help. The .3mf file should be setup as you would when trying to print the part and will allow us to see all the settings as they pertain to the model in your project.

Note if you do not Zip the file the forum server will not allow it to be posted.
