3D Printer Printing Gaps in Between Layers

I managed to print a small disk object yesterday and it printed smoothly, but not 100%. Today this is what's happening. Not sure why is it printing like this but I will appreciate it if you could help me. I don't know a lot about 3D Printing and the software I'm using is Repetier Host.

    did you calibrate the steps/mm  for your extruder?
    is object height correct ?

    I managed to fix the issue by changing the thickness. The problem I have sometimes is that the first layer doesn't stick and the nozzle cuts through it.

    The model shows clear signs of underextrusion like RAyWB said. Sifferent layer height will only hide the effect to some extend. Give it 30% more extrusion it it will also look better, but in the end you must calibrate extruder for best quality.
