I'm having problems getting my first prints right. I'm using ABS with a headbed set to 110 and a extruder set to 230.

Below are the prints. My printer is a Prusa i3

I'm using Cura and Pronterface and my settings are attached with cura and my extruder is set at 90mm @ 90mm/min

Is it supposed to be rotating? Hard to tell what exactly is wrong with it; dark, unclear images. Can you explain more?

Have you calibrated your X and Y axes'?

Posted some photos that are hopefully better.

Both of these are the 20mm-box.stl on the [reprap.org] page. They are supposed to be symetrical squares.

Might be loose belts. Might be a loose bed - is your bed on springs? Does it move in the horizontal plane at all?
