Re: 1st layer waves
Reduce the negative size of your Live 'Z' setting,
your nozzle is probably too close to the heatbed,

I had the same problem and needed to lower my z live adjust. Ripples went away and I’m printing again.
Good Luck,

Re: 1st layer waves
Actually for me it was just the opposite.
A lower Z height made the extrusions wider than the printer moves, so I had to raise Z height.
It is easy to overshoot a low Z height because the squished layer adhere better to the bed, but you end up with ripples / waves.
Good luck.
-Edit: Now that I saw Joan's answer. Yup, just like that.
