First Layer Tearing at Intersections

I am having some print-quality issues at various intersections on the first layer. Would really appreciate some expert advice.

 

Using default settings for Prusa PLA Sliver (215/60), 0.6mm nozzle.

 

I am using 7x7 mesh bed leveling and I have done a temperature calibration on the printer.

Sorry it took so long to respond.

Using a combination of the Life Adjust and digital calipers fixed my issue by getting a much more accurate first layer.

It's always hard to judge from pics, but it looks like your Live-Z may be a bit close and dragging at spots. I recommend using Jeff Jordan's "Life Adjust" procedure. It's much easier to use and understand than the on-board Live-Z routine.

Ugh, just noticed I put 0.6mm nozzle. I am using 0.4mm.
