Layer switching line along entire Z axis of print? ("snail trail")
Am printing on Prusa Mini+ with 0.4mm nozzle with Prusament PETG. On all my prints im getting this snail trail up the whole print, when I print a single item on the build sheet it looks like in this photo, If i try to print multiple items on the build sheet I get tons of globby stringing right where this snail trail is and it ruins alot of prints so i have only been printing one at a time. What can I change to get completely smooth prints around the entire outside of the print?

This same question was just asked in another thread, what you're calling a snail trail is a seam and there are settings in Prusa Slicer for adjusting this: https://help.prusa3d.com/article/seam-position_151069

The Mini has a seam problem, made worse by input shaping. There is a long thread discussing this with some ways to improve, but not solve the problem completely.
