So ever since my mendelmax1.5 started printing some months back it has been doing this really annoying thing where it makes rings on the printed object. Here's what it looks like:

As you can see, the back of the gnomes feet have some shelves about every 10 layers, or i guess they could also be called ridges. And it's not only on one side of the object, the rings go all the way around so i don't think it's a wobbling axis. The same thing happened to yoda. This is his back:

Although this is green PLA it does the same thing with ABS. Also, the shelves are not always as apparent, but they are always there to some extent.
I have struggled with this problem for quite some time so any thoughts or ideas that may help me would be very much appreciated!
