1.  check the screw knob at the top of the extruder and make sure it is not too tight.
2.  is the bed hot enough for the filament to stick.  I tend to use mine at 100/105C.
3.  check your extrusion multiplier.  most of the forums say .87 is about right.
4.  make sure the bed is level.

Hope this helps even a little!
