Everytime when my Macbook is in sleep mode (that is, just closing the lid), Bambu Studio is unresponsive after waking up when it has been in sleep mode for a prolonged time.
The only solution is to force-quit Studio and start again. Tested this with several versions of MacOS, result is always the same. Seems an issue with the network plugin not reconnecting to the printer?
Same issue and my Mac is hardwired. It’s definitely an issue with the Bambu Studio network plugin. I have submitted crash reports on different occasions.
That is a hang, not a crash - very different behaviors (kind of like comparing a car that won’t start with a car that exploded).
You can sample the hung app and give Bambu a clue where the app is hanging.
The easiest method for most users: open the Activity Monitor, select Bambu Studio (sort by name to make the list stop dancing), double click, then select “sample” bottom at the bottom left of the window.
For developers: Instruments System Trace or Time Profiler, sample sleeping threads and OS as needed.
Sometimes the other Activity Monitor data is also useful, but in this case I think the sample will be most useful (because it profiles hung threads).
Honestly, it is ridiculous that this has been an ongoing issue for over a year with no real fix from Bambu Lab.
I am running version 2.9 on an M4 Pro MacBook, and the exact same thing happens every single time the app sits idle or wakes from sleep. Tabs become completely unresponsive, the 3D viewport freezes, and you are forced to kill the process just to get work done.
This is clearly not a hardware limitation…it is broken macOS window/OpenGL handling and a network plugin that hangs whenever the system sleeps. Users shouldn’t have to rely on workarounds like minimizing windows, disabling App Nap via Terminal, or constantly Force Quitting a flagship slicer.
Bambu Lab needs to stop ignoring macOS stability and actually fix this core bug instead of just pushing new features on top of a broken foundation.
