What do you mean by “this”?

The blobbed out layers?

Hi, yes, what is causing the layers and over all poor quality print

It seems you extrude too much material.
You should try to calibrate your extrusion length.
Which slicer do you use ? Curaengine or slic3r?

cheers,

Hi, I use cura

Then set the filament diameter to 3mm in the cura settings and print an object.
While printing, play with the flow rate in repetier (lower it step by step) till you get even layers.
It’s still a good idea to first calibrate steps/mm for the extruder so it extrudes 100mm when told so.
