it is ABS..
Yes, I was thinking about cooling, but then again switching it OFF may affect supports..
Upon closer inspection I saw the problem probably started with poor adhesion of the base to the plate at edges.. ((maybe plate was not clean enough?)
So next time I will try with increased filament flow a bit (by 1%, to improve layer sticking) and to change the design by separating base and walls into smaller segments and glue them together later (and save some filament in case individual parts are usable or repairable).
As for this particular print session, I removed separated layers and figured out I can re-use the base, since the separation occurred abruptly at 11 mm height. So I will just print what's missing and glue it together and see how it goes.
