Calibration Tower Failure

Hello my first calibration tower came out a bit wonky. The first few layers look great but afterwards they seem to either not stick or doesn't have enough filament.

I have a prusa Mendel 2.

Can someone direct me to finding a solution for this?

Thanks

Hang in there man, someone should chime in soon. I'm fairly new at this and have no idea what's going on there. Good luck.

I bet your Z steps are not correct.

Have you calibrated the extruder and the steps/mm for all axes yet?
What material did you use and what were the temperature settings for the extruder and bed?
Do you use bang-bang or PID temperature control?
Did you tell the slicer to retract filament on layer changes?
