Incomplete layers

Suddenly my MK3S started printing incomplete layers.  The errors occur in different places each time.  Does anyone know what would cause this?  

Best Answer by Dan Rogers:

Have you checked for a clog?  Try a cold pull - avoid using the needle.  If the feed tension screw is too loose, any binding in the spool holder may cause that kind of symptom.  Under-extruding and then coming back - is often a binding issue.

Hmm

That is odd.  Can you post the filament type and manufacturer?  Also, it might help if you upload a 3MF filled zipped.

Clog? Feed gets wonky? Loose tension screw?l

The cold pull and tightening the tension screw fixed the issue.  Thanks Dan!
