While printing a had a problem that the object disconnected from the Buildtak.
The result is that the nozzle of my Vertex printer is clogged.
What is the best way to solve this problem.
I got the advice to use a 0.3 mm drill to open the nozzle. Is this a good way to do this?

No. Pre-heat using the LCD panel for the filament you were using. Once it reaches temperature, disengage the hobbed wheel from the extruder and manually (and carefully so as NOT to snap the filament) push the filament up the tube. This generally forces out any blockage. Be careful not to snap the filament inside the extruder, as that can increase your level of annoyance several fold.

Never use a harder material to free the nozzle as the harder material could damage the brass nozzle
as this is a softer non ferro material as a common drill is made from High Speed Steel.

Another way of unclogging nozzle: The nophead way.
Set pressure on extruder clamp, in that way to release pressure on filament.
Gently press the ring where the teflon tube goes into printhead and pull upwards the tube.
Just enough it free off the nipple.
then manual execute M104 S80 then it reaches right temp pull up all fillament from hotend.
If you are Lucky you kan now look down through the nozzle maybe you need a small light bulp.
Remember too send M104 S0 when you are done. Or just press reset on the printer.
Can you see the light? the nozzle are ready for use.
Happy printing
