If this is the case, remember 2 things:
1) Use a non-conductive screwdriver like a ceramic one. You do not want to fry a stepper driver, especially if it is on a Printrboard.
2) 1/16 of a turn will produce drastic results.

Azerate hit the nail on the head when he suggested it was  "moire" caused by not setting the stepper driver for the extruder  high enough  a little tweaking and my prints look good now .  Thanks again Azerate.

Make sure you flashed the firmware properly.
Since we don't have any pics to go by, I am guessing bad filament or moire.

It has the rev e motherboard. I used the first reddit instructions on google (couldnt post a link sorry) for updating the firmware. Everything seems to be working well except all my prints have large ripples throughout them on the edges. I have tried re calibrating the extruder (steps per mm and extrusion multiplier) and adjusting the trim pot. I don't see any slippage from the set screws on my printer either. I can't seem to find any other suggestions to try to fix this problem. Please help! Thanks
