Bobhare,
I've had similar issues in the past and here are a couple of things you could try,
Calibrate your extruder to extrude exactly amount.
Here is a video that might help ...
Check your temperature:
Normally HatchBox PLA works best for me at 180c no heatbed on glass coated with Elmers water soluble glue stick
You may also want to consider Slic3r Generate support mattierial is needed.

WatiDo,
I've had similar issues with the Filament Runout funtionality. It appears to me, but has not yet been confirmed by others that use LCD screen and SD card cause issues, at least the two different methods I used to get it to work. Here are two youtube videos I made to help othesr having the same issue.
Mechanical Endstop method:
Optical Endstop Method:

You may also want to check filament retraction as it can cause wicking.

KD6Hq,
What did you specify in Marlin FW 1.1.6 for LCD? I've been struggling like yourself on this issue with a RAMPS 1.4 configuration. By luck I tried different LCD panel from REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER to REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER. If it helps, I made a small video to document the steps I used.

E_tech_14,
I'm guessing you looking to add more extruders to RAMPS1.4? If this is the case I have a video that might help ....
It should in theory handle three, but I've only added 2 additional. Hope this helps.

Step 1
Do you know if you're connected to board?
if you unsure of what's occurring, look up how to output USB devices for example, (https://github.com/todbot/usbSearch/blob/master/usbSearch.vbs)
If there is no change between plugin device in and not, it means your USB device is fried on the Arduino board. If you have a multi-meter and time it's easy to fix. In my case I just buy another boar

It's possible to build a very nice Aluminum Prusa printer for under $300 US dollars.
Approximate costs.
40.00 Diamond print head (maybe even less)
40.00 Prusa aluminum frame (Maybe even less)
40.00 Rails (Maybe even less)
20.00 Hardware (arduino/ramps/stepper extender)
You have your own printer so parts should be easy to print for a Prusa.

Alfonso,
I'm not an expert in 3d printer but should you explain why you need a high temperature print head? Are you printing metal? If you are printing metal you might want to consider using a Laser Sinter. Medical replacement organs has peaked my interest for a couple of years and I was thinking people might what to use peristaltic pump, so that they can match the genetics of the patient

Josef,
Extruder oozing:
This generally means your temperature is too hot. Reduce your temperature by 2 degrees.
Surface adherance
Use Hatchbox PLA. Using Elmers Glue pen. Make sure your surface is level. This should solve you printer issues.
