I connected it via USB,
The Ultimaker 2 family do not (officially) support printing via USB. Print via the SD card instead.
If you really want to print via USB, you MUST change the G-code flavor from "Ultimaker 2" to "Marlin" (in the Machine Settings dialog). This will override some functionality on your printer (specifically material selection) and add that functionality to Cura. The gcode produced via "Ultimaker 2" g-code flavor misses some elements that are required to successfully print over USB (because the Ultimaker 2 would normally insert these elements automatically when printing via SD).

Hi @Blasty
First, welcome in here.
This is a new one for me, -but sure possible..
I'll guess that the clip the nozzle hit, was the forward left one, as this is the place the nozzle are to put the filament bleeding when clearing for proper feed. Next, the head move down and moving a little aft before setting course to start making the skirt or brim. But when the head moving down, it's just collide with this left forward clip, right?
This is what I'll think happen.. If this is right, I'll think the Y limit switch might be moved to much forward by some reason.
In this case, the stop offset switch for the Y axe are moved to much forward and make the nozzle to move too much and overrun the max limit on the build plate.
When looking on the object to be printed on the heat bed in Cura, you can see the valid print area clearly visible and the area where the clip are located are shaded black. If you try to move your object into here your object will change color with stripes to indicate; at this place the object will cannot be printed. This will work if the above adjustment are right..
The old versions of Cura (4.13.1 and older) will show this dark shadow over the clip when the build plate are empty, while the later Arachne version of Cura (after version 5.0 I'll think) only show this when an object are present on the heat bed.
For the UM2E/E+ the X & Y are set to 225 and Z 305..
Well, lets see how this go.
Good luck
Torgeir
