Prints failing after unsuccessful filament change

When I wanted to unload the fillament and change it with another one, the printer didn't wanted to unload it. I had to manually unload the fillament. After manually unloading and loading the new fillament, the printer no longer wanted to print same as before. This is the picture of mess it made when printing the first layer:

I then decided to try and change the nozzle (I bought Nozzle X E3D V6). When changing the nozzle my wrench slipped and I turned heaterblock 90° to the right into the plastics that melted on the side.

After installing the new nozzle, I made fist time calibration again and it looked fine:

After trying to print the first print again with the new nozzle the problem persisted:

I was trying screwing and unscrewing screws on extruder, trying to figure out what might be the issue, but I am just unable to figure it out after a week of trying. I wanted to buy a little more expensive printer to avoid exactly those problems (of spending more time configuring the printer instead of printing). But now I am spending more time figuring out what is wrong with the printer instead of printing (after only few prints on a new printer).

 

Any help would be appretiated, thanks.

RE:

Sorry, but I don't understand the first question.

Yes I went to the printer menu and pressed the unload filamet option. When the issue starter printer did not wanted to unload the filament. So i had to manually remove the fillament. Since then I also replaced the nozzle with Nozzle X E3D V6. The unload filament function is currently working as it should.

But since I replaced the original nozzle with Nozzle X, according to instructions I may not use Cold pull anymore.

So if you think something still might be clogged even after a new nozzle was installed, then I would first need to buy the cleaning filament.
