You aren't getting good layer adhesion. The lower layer is not melting enough when the new layer is going down on top. The lower layer needs to melt a little so you get good adhesion.
You can't go much hotter on the nozzle so you have two options left:
1) Raise the air temperature by enclosing the printer.
2) Lower the fan speed a lot. Try to go so low that the fan will still start back up if you stop it with your fingers but as low as possible. Typically 1/3 power.
Ideally you want to do both of those above two things. 35C is a good air temperature.
