My Nozzle and Z-Axis want to kill my heatbed

Selftest is giving me some strange behavior and I don't know where to begin. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The error at the end was that the endstop was not hit for motor Z.

Here's a short video of the problem in action.

Any help on this would be very appreciated! Thank you!

your p.i.n.d.a. probe doesn't trigger above the calibration points.
check the p.i.n.d.a. probe if it works at all (-> show end stops menu -> put a piece of metal under the probe -> does the Z endstop change ?).
check the wiring of the p.i.n.d.a. probe.

furthermore make sure, that the height distance between the tip of your nozzle and the tip of the p.i.n.d.a. probe ist between 0.7 and 1.0 mm (not mil !).
the thickness of a credit card should be quite right.
in your video I can see that it's far to much. the nozzle will hit the bed way before the probe could trigger.

dem inscheniör is' nix zu schwör...

...almost seems your bed is too far back? probe should hit* that circle mark on the bed... did you try calibration > auto home from the lcd?

* edit - not 'hit', but be hoverin' above 😐

Your entire hotend seems mounted incorrectly, it is way too low. It should barely come lower than the red 'HOT' fan nozzle thing. Yours seems at least a few hundred millimeter lower ? See my screenshot, how low the fan is, or how "high" the hotend
