You either need a fan that blows on the object or you must print several objects at one time.

The plastic doesn't have enough time to cool between layers so either cool the object with a fan or increase the time between new layers by printing 3 (or 4) of the objects at the same time. Since I don't use a fan this is what I do when printing objects that are small e.g. extruder stepper motor gears, I print 4 at once.

You can also set a waiting time between two layers or a minimum layertime in your slicer.
