You could fix this by making the bars thicker, or by increasing the number of horizontal connections so that the unsupported vertical pieces aren’t as tall, or possibly by slowing down your print speed - but it’s really a design issue.

another solution might be to angle the bars so they criss cross in a skinny-X pattern, but I agree it's a design issue. especially if it's always breaking at the same spot.
