Layers not sticking past layer 3
It's hard to see in the photo, but is it possible that you are under extruding once you get past the first couple of slow layers? I.e. extryder can't keep up once print speeds increase causing stopping and starting of extrusion and peeling up of smaller sections. I had gaps in my prints from about layer 3 onwards. Initially resolved by slowing the printer - but then I noticed that the gear on the arm of the orbiter 2 extruder was very stiff. A bit of oil on this gear fixed things up. Might be a long shot, but worth considering I think.

Rough HG15 linear rails
No I didn't, but thanks for the suggestion. I did a few more rounds of tapping with a hammer and they have loosened up a little. But I think I'll give them a proper clean out and grease. Thanks!
