Comment on Trouble keeping a top-heavy TPE part on the bed

So I don’t actually have a 3D printer, but from my humble perspective, why don’t you just flip the print and print it on a separate orientation. So the top heavy part is now on the bottom or add extra struts for support to increase the mass of the unstable portion if you are not able to rotate the orientation of the print

It’s heavy on both sides. Also, I need to keep this thin wall facing up because otherwise it would be essentially impossible to remove from the support. And I need the bits facing up to be very clean, while I can afford some nastiness on the bit that faces down after I’m done removing and cleaning the supports.

If you’re open for more unorthodox rambling, is it possible that you can pause the printhead once you’ve printed the initial base area and then tape that down to the table or apply hot glue or another temporary adhesive to provide rigidity?
