So, I’m doing a 19 hour print and I left Bambu Studio open so that I can watch the progress. Later, I closed the laptop and then re-opened it. I switched to Bambu Studio and at the top left of the Device tab, it shows “Failed to connect to the server” and under the Camera window it shows, “Please check the network and try again. You can restart or update the printer if this issue persists [5:4]”
Now, if I click File → New Window, I can then click on the Device tab and I don’t see any errors. I can tap the Play icon and see the Camera preview just fine. No network issues at all.
So, it seems like the first window has just lost connection. I don’t know what to click to make it retry the connection. It seems like it should try again by itself. I don’t want to close that window because when then print finishes it provides that handy ability to rate the print, type some text, and upload a photo. Maybe this doesn’t matter and I can just do this another way. I suppose closing the program and restarting would work and there’s probably another way to get to the rate feature after the print finishes. I’ve only been using it for a little over a week now.
Having said all that, there really should be a simple “Retry Connection” button somewhere on the page the when errors above are shown. I tried clicking everywhere obvious, but nothing worked.
