It finished a while ago and upon inspection it is a bit better, i measured the diameter of the filament at it was 1.8mm so I put that into Slic3r settings. I used the red ABS from PrintME3D this time. I'l post pictures tomorrow (UK time) when its a bit better lighting.
I need to get some more filament but I am unsure whether to get ABS or PLA. I can't seem to get the PLA I have to print properly without it jamming up and making an awful clicking sound after about 2 minutes. Does anyone know how to fix this? It's a shame because I've heard PLA is "easier to print" and is more suitable for most applications but with my experience I just want to avoid it.
Finally, Are any brands better than others? I'm looking at getting some PrimaABS or PrimaPLA rather than PrintMe3D's filament although I can't decide for the life of me whether to get bright green, orange, yellow, blue or grey received_967774903265133.jpgLast edited by BradR97; 07-14-2015 at 04:48 AM.

The settings I have at the moment are the standard for Slic3r. What do I need to adjust and to what extent? Does one need to be adjusted if another value is changed?

For PLA it always helps to have an additional fan blowing on the part to cool it further.
The clicking sound is usually due to hot end jamming. In this case it can be due to switching from ABS (higher temp) to PLA (lower temp) if you have a little left in, it is too cool to melt and jams the hot end.
