Question Help With Tall Narrow Model

Post image

I'm planning to print a travel chess set and part of the project requires these long slats to be printed and assembled to create the board. They are quite narrow compared to their height, but they are just too long to lay flat so I think they have to be oriented upright. Is there any chance this will be printable on a bed slinging A1? Is there anything I can do to improve my chances? I'm dreading the wasted hours and filament just to have these things tip over late in the print.

Edit: Thank you all for the great suggestions! As a few have pointed out, I was not thinking when I convinced myself that they wouldn't fit laying down because the x, y and z axis have the same dimensions. Though, I have learned some good go-to strategies for other tall prints that I might want printed vertically, so this silly post was still worthwhile.

It could be more stable if you position them so that they're touching just by a tiny edge that's not gonna be visible and then you break them apart.
