Mini first layer good, then stops extruding properly?

I am at a loss as to what's wrong with my Mini.  The first layer generally prints fine, and then it just stops extruding properly?  The subsequent layers don't print evenly and the final product is a mess with missing layers.  My first layer calibration seems fine.  I've already done cold pulls in case it was a clog, I've cleaned the extruder gear, made sure the Prusament is dry.

Video linked above hopefully shows what I mean.  I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, and thanks in advance for any help!

A clear still photo of the mess would be useful.

Cheerio,

At first sight this is possibly a temperature (or cooling) error - check your settings.  And dry for a little longer.

Cheerio,
