For starters I am guessing that is SD white ABS and That filament seems to absorb moisture quite easily.  In a nutshell I haven't had good luck with that particular filament.  Buy some Octave in the future you'll be happy you did.
Mostly you need some calibration so start here http://www.soliwiki.com/#Calibrations Focus on Steps/mm extruded.  Then work on extrusion multiplier by printing a simple 20mm cube 10 mm high with a single wall (perimeter) and no infill.  This is what you need to set the extrusion multiplier.  You will be aiming for .48 wall thickness instead of .42 like it says in the WIKI (.35 nozzle .42 and .40 nozzle .48)  You have a .40 nozzle and until you get at least these two things set it will be difficult to get good quality.  215 is about the right temp for that filament and 105 is perfect for the bed.
Have a whack at calibration and let me know if you have questions.

i cant find the marlin directory with arduino thats is shown in the vid for step calibration

Get me a better picture it is difficult for me to tell with out good resolution or at least a better description of what you think is wrong.

sorry about that....i dont think im extruding the plastic at the right temp. my first piece was stringy and weak and my  most recent print is blobby tho solid new photo shows the first print on the left most recent on the right what should i do from here?
