took my nozzle off the e3d to clean as little clogged got a 1mm drill bit poking the plastic and drawing it out was heating and then the drill bit snapped think due to the heat
poked it a little but cant get anything in as the gap as small any ideas on how to fetch out

If the drill bit snapped, it was due to mechanical force, probably bending. Since the drill bit is much harder than the brass nozzle, it's probable that force that broke the drill bit also damaged the nozzle. There's no point in trying to get the piece of drill bit out- you need a new nozzle.
