I have a Problem with my a20m.
Sorry for my Bad English.

When I print a big stl (>10h) with only one colour there is often the Problem that my second colour clog up.
I cant use it again and have to clean the extruder first.

Is there any Chance to avoid this?

Thank you

I think you should clean the hotend and replace the PTFE tube.
Then it should work normally.(But you need to confirm your slice setting is correct)

Print speed no more than 80mm/s for the A20M.
Temp setting(PLA):
1.Nozzle:180~210C,You need to set the all the nozzle temp to the same temp
2.Heat bed: 50~70C
Then you need to set the retarct to :
1.Retract distance:6.5mm
2.Retract speed:40mm/s

Then you need to check the extruder temp.
If it overheat then it will cause the filament soft then clogged.
