Issues with changing filament and "ejected" hotend
Hello,
After my first two successful prints I wanted to change filament, so I went into the options and first tried "unload filament". It didn't work, the filament didn't come out and the printer started rattling and the screen said something about "ramming".
After doing some research on the forum I tried to tighten the idler screws a bit, because when I opened the idler I could see that the gear couldn't grab the filament.
So after tightning the idler screws I could retract the filament after chosing "unload filament", BUT the printer rattled loudly again and the hotend came out quite a bit. (see photo)
Can anybody help me on this please?

It appears from your pictures that for some reason the hotend assembly was not installed/tightened properly. Follow the installation instructions here to properly re-install the assembly:
