Bambu Studio Locking Up Computer

Just another data point.

Started getting more and more lock ups when using Bambu Studio so instead of waiting for it to corrupt my everyday computer I installed it on a “spare” tower running W11.

It crashes a lot less but the workflow going from tower to tower is a real PITA.

Not the “Premium” printing experience I was expecting. :thinking:

Edit: To be fair, it seems like it’s gotten worse with every W11 update.

Which graphics card do you have in your “everyday” computer? I’m guessing it’s NVIDIA?

All of these processes - CAD, mesh and slicing - are very CPU-intensive. It seems like your PC might be too weak. Have you checked your CPU temperature to see if that could be the source of the problem?

They’re all based on Slic3r - Bambu, Orca and Pursa - and the basis is actually pretty well tested. Of course, you’ll sometimes find bugs, but will your PC crash completely? Rarely.

I would install a temperature and workload indicator and see what’s going on. :+1:

You can also see the workload in Task Manager in Windows. Strg+Shift+Esc

While it hasn’t crashed my computer, it did lock up(the program) while slicing a color lithophane. It finally just closed after killing it. So had a bug somewhere, windows 11 latest build.
