Object prints tapered - troubleshooting

Print two instead of one. This gives the layer you deposited on the left time to cool while you print one on the right.

Davo nailed it. Your hot end is spending to much time on a small area of the printing causing distortions.

This is the same object printed two separate ways. The side facing down always comes out tapered. I should also add that I'm using Simplify3D to position the object on the print bed. They have a large number of settings which I'm still figuring out. I set it up for "print quality high" and let the system auto configure the settings. Given the size of my objects I am not able to just "print two". If it's a small part or large part I get the same taper affect:
