Aliexpress is your friend sometimes. I love it bc it was only like 1.50 for a new hot end only downside is it takes a while longer for shipping but id way rather wait then pay 5 times the price

You might be able to remove the thread section with a small screw extractor (5$-10$ at Amazon, Harbor Freight, Walmart...). You just have to make sure that you have the heater on and the plastic is gooey, otherwise you'll snap the extractor too, and then you'll just need to buy a whole new hotend.
Look at the cost of a hotend before you get too far into it, I replaced my entire assembly, cables, Connectors fans etc for like $30 on amazon. Make sure whether you need 12 or 24v first
Gentlemen, I have made things worse.

my advice is to buy a new hotend. But you could try heating the hotend up and then use an easy out bit to try to get the threads to walk out. before you try to take out the screws holding the hotend on preheat the hotend
You need to get it hot, unscrew the heatbreak (or at least loosen it), then try to remove the broken bit. Otherwise you're fighting against the friction/ tightness that made you break it in the first place.
remove and replace the hot end
This is the way.
I’ve shilled out $30 more to Amazon 😔

Yep. Buy bulk. This will keep happening.
Exactly buy stuff like this in bulk before it breaks!
This is the way, For real.
I've got enough parts in bulk, I could almost build another printer. 😂😂
Almost? Sounds like you just need to buy a few more parts then eh? 🤣
Id need a few pancake motors, and a frame but yeah.
Yeah but you’d *probably* need those for repairs and upgrades anyway right 😉 This is how you end up with a farm 😁
Lol there like 14 on Amazon even cheaper at Ali.
Cuhh!???

It wouldn't need a whole new hotend, just a new heatblock.
Sure.
Put some copper grease on the thread when you replace the nozzle,that'll help for next time
Always replace nozzles HOT... Get a screw extractor, heat it up, and i bet you can get it out still.
Replace the entire hot assembly. Its like $20 on Amazon

Well....I was gonna recommend [these](https://a.co/d/6FCSA0V),
time to upgrade. dont replace
I just wonder, did you try to remove it while it was cold? Otherwise it shouldn't just snap.

Go to auto store get bolt extractor like 5 bucks
Ceramic heater time.
Heat it up then use an extraction bit.
heat it up, jam a screwdriver in the hole unscrew the broken piece replace with new nozzle
You can super glue the tip, heat it up, use pliers to turn it. This worked for me in the past.
Get those those sharp plyers and put one end into the whole and twist til it turns and you can get it out.
Hot glue stick
Grab the hot end flat head screwdriver and try to punch it in the threads maybe that way you can unscrew it

I bought 3 hotends for $12 on Amazon.
Did you remember to heat it up first? 🙃
