Prints all over the place - Never seen this problem before. Absolutely BONKERS!

Hello!

I recently had to change my jammed PTFE tube, and fix a leaky nozzle. Everything seemed fine, and I followed the E3D-v6 assembly instructions, and filament seems to feed smoothly without leaks. The calibration also detects no problem. The first layer calibration however, looks kinda weird, but I tried to print regardless.
And I go the mess you see below. It looks like it shifts constantly.
Any ideas?

it looks like you need to complete live Z calibration again!
looks like your nozzle is way too high

Also - notice anything common within the circles?

Fingerprints will prevent PLA from sticking to the bed - so things like skirts and first layers end up no sticking and are dragged whereever the nozzle is heading. Thus, a skirt is formed inside the part boundary. The printer keeps printing, grabs the skirt because it isn't where it's supposed to be, and eventually you will learn how to remove tar balls from the hot end.

Soap and water are your friend.

Handling the bed only by the edges once you get it clean should be the next part of the process.
