Thanks

If you have the original sanguino board, check here:

You will likely need to set vref below the extruder value recommendation.

I have been trying to find a post on the forum and/or on wiki and can't find anything that tells me how to do the Vref upgrade and/or about new stepper drivers SD8825.  Is there a how to out there, hate to ask but I have been looking for 2 days now. 

As you can see this problem has been going on in most up my prints (see uploaded picture)

Boz,

I had that happen to my old extruder (default) and I think it was because I did not tighten the assembly down enough.  That was when I decided to get out my E3D and upgrade to that.

Thanks!

Looks like you didn't seal the piece properly

Did you heat the piece and tighten it at 300°c?

Thats a pic of the stock 'bighead' nozzle attached to a PEEK barrel - if he heated that to 300°C it would be a pile of molten plastic and have outgassed nasty stuff.
Being a PEEK barrel, it doesn't have the same expansion issues that the alu/stainless of an E3D has. You only need to heat the OEM Hotends to enable to solidified plastic to 'let go' to unscrew them using the stock plastic-melt temps (so 165-195 PLA/ABS) - screwing them on is done at room temp.

But dead right re the E3D - that one, you want to heat soak to 300 and nip up...

It is. As techbuilder elluded to, looks like your (stock) nozzle wasn't tight on the barrel.

I upgraded to an sd8825 at the same time I installed an E3D and still has to turn down the vref, but in theory that alone would have helped with the moire.
