Stepstruder Question

On many thingiverse pages I've noticed people saying "You're probobly gona need a stepstruder to print this". I have also noticed that their print quality seams far superior to mine on a MendelMax with a Greg's extruder. Is this because of the being better or my printer being badly calibrated?

Are you talking about something like this?:

Yes that's my point. Is the apparently better quality due to the replicator machine or because of the calibration of my printer. If its my printer calibrato. Is there anyway to improve it? I have done most of the things on the reprap wiki calibration page, and print quality is still funky

it's most likely that your settings need a little fine tuning , can you put up a picture of a "funky" print preferably high res,

if you'r looking in the direction of direct drive this maybe a cheaper/more relaible option [www.thingiverse.com]

Sorry for being so unspecific when describing the problem. It's not that my print quality is off It improved when it played with the settings as recommended), but the printed part don't fit together. On the calibration page it said it has something to do with the perimeter width, but playing with this setting I obtained no results and the part still seam not to fit.
