· Issue with printing tensile bars vertically
Print slower. MUCH slower. Try 1/2 or 1/4 speed what you are printing now. You can also lower the acceleration and jerk by 2X.
In cad, add some support. the part is stronger where it is wider and it should be okay to add some support there. Make the support get very tiny where it attaches to the main part - maybe 1mm attachment. Make the attachment be like an angled post that angles in and helps prevent your part from wobbling when it gets taller.
Also you can print much slower. i'm guessing you have a printer where the bed moves in the Y direction. This moves the part and so it wobbles more - align your part so it lines up such that it is stronger in the Y direction if this is the case.
All supports should be at least 1/5th as wide at the base as tall. So they should actually be cone shaped ideally.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
