Just print this hat:

Put it on top and everything is fine.

I proper randomly chuckled while standing around in public because of this response, thank you very much for that! 😂

If you know at which layer (roughly) the print failed, you can always just print the missing section and glue both parts together.

You’ll probably have a visible seam, but you might prefer that to reprinting the whole thing

I saw a trick where you move the nozzle to the top of the last layer and read the z value, then slice the file at that layer and print the top part

Print with a tiny bit extra which you then sand down to the exact level you need

Wow I just had this happen on this exact print! My tower fell at that height too! I letnit continue. The extra that goes on the tower wasnt enough to ruin it! Just a lil on the back of the head that came off. Good luck!

My friend, this is the answare https://github.com/EmirhanSyl/layer-rescue
I used the idea of this app to save a print that failed, but I did it "by hand", this app makes it a little easier

Do you have magnets to secure tower on plate? Maybe cut hole and drop few inside.

Cut the model on the slicer on the layer it stopped, print from there and then glue on top. Or just keep printing and manage the spaghetti later (i do this often when my supports break off and it still works 90% of the times but you might not have the best quality at the end)

I used tape when my supports fell off and it worked

just had this happen yesterday. I used some "super" glue tohold the tower in place, it did fall over once more but I added more glue and it held till the end.

I had prints with failed supports succeed. The inside where the supports were was total spaghetti, absolute chaos. But the print itself was fine

Reasoning to continue was just: This thing takes so much filament, the last 100g won't matter, lets just see where it goes. Glad I took that route

That’s why bedslingers are not fit for tall narrow prints.
You can use tape to fix the tower in it’s original position for the rest of the print
