Moving from Cura to Prusaslicer on Ender 3

I am looking at moving from Cura to Prusaslice with my Ender 3.  I can print fine with Cura, but if I try and print with the Prusaslicer, I have trouble with the 1st layer.  

Is there anything in Prusaslicer that could be affecting first layer adhesion?

I run into the same problem with my Ender 5. Some STLs will print fine when sliced to G-code by Cura, but they won't stay on the bed if sliced with PrusaSlicer. Trying to figure out what could be going on, but any tips will be appreciated.

Post one of your projects (save as.... which saves a .3mf file with all your settings and model).  Zip it up and attach it here.  Then people can have a look at it and try and debug whats happening.

I don't have an ender 3 but I do have its big brother, a cr10.

Murphy's law kicked in I guess, but I will try to find one. I made some changes for the initial layer speed, set it as low as 25 mm/s and of course now everything is sticking to the bed.

I also set the first layer height to 0.18 and layer height to 0.2mm, not sure if these will make a difference. I noticed that the original profile I used had always a higher initial layer than the rest. Don't know if that makes a difference?
