New to this and struggling a bit

Hi Guys,

Well took the plunge and bought a second hand Mini Kossel (and no I have no clue who the bits came from)
Its running an arduino mega and ramps 1.4 (Do I sound like I know what I'm talking about?)

I have managed to get the bed level and delt with the delta's in the firmware. I think the original owner never got this configured.

So I am finally getting it to print something but...well....its not great.....
I'm not sure what to look at to fix this... (picture attached)

Help please....

Looks like your extruder could do with calibration. Check out the last section in this document here:

If that doesn't improve things, the next place to look is your extruder set up, hot end temperature and filament quality. I've found that some of the cheapo filament just doesn't extrude nicely, regardless of temperature and cooling etc. I print somewhere between 190-205 depending on what filament I'm using and how fast.

Also, what kind of extruder set up are you using? Direct drive or geared? If it's direct drive, is it a geared stepper or just a normal one?
