first print looks like the blob

I'm dialing in my Rerap Mendel. I'm running Marlin with the base config (MB=33). My first print started out ok, but on the 3rd or 4th layer it all balled up on the heat end.
What needs tweaked? stepper motor(s), configuration.h or both?

Suggestions appreciated.

What material are you printing with? Is your hot end tube cooled with a fan? Does it look like too much material was coming out of the nozzle, or that the mechanical positioning of the head was wrong?

Printing with ABS, heated end @ 235, bed @110. It looked like I was getting a even amount of extrude. I don't have a fan on the heat end.

Could you maybe post a picture of the problem?
