Try printing with a raft for better adhesion on small points like that. You may also try printing with supports.

It's not a raft he needs, but a brim. The surface area that's actually in contact with the bed is way too small for that large of a part. The drag friction of the plastic coming out of the nozzle is going to treat that part like a huge lever and will eventually overcome the adhesion of that tiny area.
