I think you may be on to something. I cannot find an exact temperature setting for the filament anywhere but when my original filament ran out, my printer was set at 215 and I always got good prints, when I started printing with the new filament that is not xyz, the layers would peel away from each other, so I upped the temp with the cartridge resetter to 230. The first couple prints turned out fine with that temp so I thought it was good. I tried last night turning the temp back with the resetter and now I am getting the poor layer bonding again, but the prints look good again. I may have to upgrade firmware to use repetier in order to get my temp to 220 since 215 is just not going to work. Because I got those first couple good prints after temp change, I never thought that may be the problem.

Thanks

It looks like you're printing at the wrong temperature.

What are the temp. specs for the filament you're using?

I need your guys help in finding my issue, I have tried so many different things to fix this. I am currently running on the G firmware. The printer seems to dip in at certain parts of the print, which causes a wall or other things to not be symetrical with the rest of the print. I even printed the bird bath thinking maybe it was XYZ ware or slicer as I did try w34's software update to load gcode directly, but this issue was before that. I am attaching some pics of the prints. The birdbath turned out aweful, and the pillars you can see a dip at the base of it, but then its perfect going up from there. This is non-divince filament I am using, could it just be that? I had no warping or issues with it letting loose from the bed.
