Horrible First Layer issue?
I have a stock original prusa mini; when I first got it I dialed it in with the “life adjust” and it was rock solid- I only use prusament , and every stock object printed perfectly. Fast forward to now. It exploded (Hotend gobbed up, y belt slipped out fully, etc) and after putting it back together I can't get a solid first layer.
I've recalibrated first layer over and over, dialed in live z with life adjust.. I fixed my slipping Y belt by printing a new Y belt holder with PETG. Any ideas on why first layers are garbage but everything else seems fine?

Yor first layer 'Z' calibration is too high, not enough squish.
At the end of the calibration you are aiming to print a single layer, postage stamp sized *sheet*. It should be possible to peel it off in one and fold it without the threads seperating. If it breaks into lines it is too high, not squished enough. If it is a single sheet but with wavy lines or drag marks on it you are too low.
Cheerio,
