The following pictures are from the chest and arms of this:

Whenever a vertical edge is printed there is a ridge produced - kind of like the edge sticks out a bit further. Any hints on what Slic3r settings or printer adjustments I should make to fix this?

I have a Prusa Mendel (RRP tricolor), Slic3r 1.0.0RC1, 1.75mm PLA.

Thanks, Andy

Also, make sure there isn't too much filament pushed. Make sure you have calibrated your extruder. Measure your filament, print a thin wall cube and measure the thickness.
