Well, the title says it all.

The option of splitting the part into two exists but is undesirable.

Can't think of a position to have the optimum print quality while keeping the part stable during the print.

    I recently printed something slightly similar and succeeded by putting the part on its tail. I added some one line thick perpendicular support sheets to the lower few centimeters and used a brim. The support was easy to break off. My object was about 15cm in height.

    I think splitting off the "nose" to get two flat bases for the print would be the best really. If not I would print it with the nose down and add concentric circles for support that I would break away afterwards. Both approaches would need some sanding afterwards if surface quality is of high priority. But I think a single seam would be easier to get rid of rather than lots of contact points around the nose. You'd also get some pretty bad overhangs from the looks of it.

        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
