By calculating the dimensions of the piece can make us feel 27 pieces on the floor of the press with the right spaces, positioned vertically as you say, but with the base largha on the floor so I do not create any support material and wasting time and remain lower avoiding vibrations .
How material are about 325gr, as time is about 23 hours of printing with infill to 25% and from 0.2 mm layer.
If the piece does not have to have structural characteristics but only aesthetic you could make an infill to 15% and reduces all parameters of development and production.
I improved, placing them vertically can make 28 pieces in a print. All without forcing makerware, so with optimum operation of the movements. I tried slicing with infill to 15%, time 23 hours and 50 minutes, material 274gr.

So! There ya go, Phil. Ya pays ya money and ya takes ya choice. According to the charges stated on my hub, your doodads, at 75% in-fill, come out around the $10 region each. So, yes. You can save yourself money by buying a 3D printer. Of course, you may find people quoting you far less and I’d “Caveat emptor” that one. Even at a quarter of the price, you can get yourself a 3D printer that’ll do a good job for you. If you’re willing to rush back home to remove your print and get another running every 13 hours, it’ll only take you just over 2 weeks, or less if you’re happier with lower in-fill. Tadaaah!
Sorry I did not want the bother anyone, however, since the question was public anyone can say what they please without limits.
As you can see I have only written a few examples of how to print the project according to the original question, I do not want to steal the job to anyone, everyone has their own experience and puts it in the service of others, I have no economic interest, it is understood by my actions indicative only.
It does not seem a discussion with “exclusive” to someone.
Hello, good job!
