Hi! I've been trying to get consistent prints out of my Prusa i3 but it just doesn't want to cooperate

I've tried printing with Proterface and Repetier, sliced with Slic3r and Cura but nothing turns out consistently ok.
Here's an example of how a first layer might look:
Yesterday's print of an X axis idler turned out kind of ok.I posted a bunch of pictures on my blog.
Please take a look if you have time.
I've calibrated and recalibrated the extruder, been through quite a few guides but I just can't nail the problem. Any ides what I could check would be greatly appreciated.
