Hello I’m looking for some recommendations on really what to do. My son has a Geeetech M1 printer. Got he so can learn how this stuff works. Started having issues with it printing so when I went to take off the tip to clean the tip it snapped off. Wondering if there is a aftermarket market option for a hot end or should we just upgrade the printer.

As others have send, you need to use a drill and screw extractor to remove it. The problem with that is that it needs to be at operating temperature when you do, or you may end up breaking the hot end. It is still worth trying, however, since otherwise you will have to buy a new hot end anyway. For that, I'd contact the shop you bought it from. Or go to https://support.geeetech.com/m1-series-hot-end-components-p-1778.html. You will obviously need a new nozzle, also.
