This is a common problem when it's the very very last few layers but you have so many layers to go when doing the girl's face. I would check that the fans are working. And maybe lower the air temperature. You want 100% fan with PLA. Not the bottom layer but by the 5th layer the fans should be at 100% to cool the layer below before the next layer.
In addition I would print this "vertical" because you will get much better resolution on the girl's face if you print in the other orientation.
But if you print this vertical it looks like she has a pony tail printed last and that might have the same issue unless you also print a tower next to her for cooling purposes - when it prints the tower the model can cool for an extra 4 or so seconds (that's all it usually needs).
It's also possible the temperature is off on your core so you could try another AA 0.4 core.
But first and foremost check that the fan is working - what I see here is what I would expect if one or both of the 2 side fans were broken.
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
