N00b question - Bambu Studio disconnected after sleep

Bambu Lab Software Bambu Studio

I’m sure this is a really basic question but I’ve not been able to find an answer… sorry.

I have an X1C and latest Bambu Studio running on macOS. All fine. Printing going well and having fun.

The issue is simple: I’ll often leave long prints going over night etc. But after waking the Mac from sleep, Bambu Studio will always see the X1C as being offline / can’t connect. ‘Device cannot be found’ etc. If I close Bambu Studio and reopen it then it will immediately find it.

Is there a way to force Bambu Studio to refind/reconnect to the X1C without closing / opening? No amount of clicking around in BS seems to force it to try and reconnect.

I experience the same thing with my Mac. If the computer goes to sleep, Bambu Studio cannot see the printer anymore, and no amount of “Refresh” works. I have to save the project, close the app, and upon restarting the app it connects instantly. Its really frustrating.

Same with me. And I’ve also never found a way to get it to reconnect. I can even use the dead window and choose file - new window and the new window that opens will connect with no problem but the original dead window open at the same time still won’t reconnect.

And for something that seems so benign, it is incredibly frustrating. My Mac goes to sleep pretty quickly and it’s not uncommon at all for me to have to open a new BS window 15 times or even more during a really long print.

In case this info helps.

I do not have this issue, getting my Mac to recognise the screen after it wakes, is a different thing. Somewhere around 50/50 on that.

I have a Mac Mini 2018 top of the range running Ventura.

OK - thanks for the replies!

At least I’m not going mad and it’s not just me. Does seems like a pretty basic issue.

I also have the exact same issue, new Mac with all the latest OS software, as well as Bambu Studio.

I will check if there is a way to do a bug report, with a link to this thread.

Cheers,
Lukas

I have this issue as well and the only thing I can do to get around it is log out and log back in which is super annoying.

Adding my name to the list. Were you able to submit a ticket for this?

I’m running a 15 inch M2 MacBook Pro.

The same for me. Mac OS Sequoia 15.0.1, P1S, BambuStudio 2.0.1.50. I noticed that sometimes Studio keeps connection to the printer after Mac wakes up, sometimes it doesn’t. I can’t see the pattern, but it is so annoying:(
