I'm a complete newbie! I'm on my second print ever with my Prusa I3 Pro X, single Extruder model, using 1.75 mm ABS filament. Everything seems to be working fine except for the horizontal and vertical layers are not fusing together well at all and are easily pulled apart. I've tried increasing my Extruder filament feed rate to 150 mm/min and my temperatures to 225 degs C (extruder) and 110 degs C (heated Bed) based on my assumption that my extrusion volume is insufficient. My layers are set at 0.2 mm (First Layer and 0.24 The Rest) I have a 0.4 mm nozzle and am using 1.75mm ABS filament.
Has anyone any ideas?

Re: Both horizontal and vertical Layers separating
feedrate is too fast, have you tried 50mm/min? And my first layer is 0.35mm, the rest is 0.2mm, just on the contrary...but I use PLA

Thanks Mark. I appreciate your advice. I will try your settings.
