Layer Delamination

I am a noob to 3D but love my Prusa and have had much success so far. A couple of times -- once using Slic3R and once using Cura, I have run into a situation where the layers are fine until a certain stage of the job and then the layers suddenly get sloppy and lack cohesion. Attached is a photo. What am I doing wrong? stl file was pulled from Thingiverse and has .15mm layer height and 35% infill. Thanks for any suggestions.

Raise your filament temp in 5 deg steps.

Re: Layer Delamination

Thank you. I will try that. Oddly, I imported the stl file to Slic3r and it printed perfectly. The default settings must have been better. The other thing I noticed last night on a different print job was that sometimes the filament on the spool gets tangled and the spool essentially gets stuck. Wonder if that had anything to do with it.

Absolutely. This is a common issue when you either purchase filament that have not been carefully wound (as I have on occasion) or when you don't keep hold of the end when unloading...
