+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Bambu Studio (Flatpak) — model/build plate not rendering after NVIDIA driver update
+
+**Symptom:** Bambu Studio opens fine but the build plate and any loaded model are invisible/blank. Happened twice — once tied to a broken Flatpak install requiring a full reinstall, and again purely from a driver version mismatch.
+
+**Root cause (recurring pattern):** The Flatpak runtime bundles its own NVIDIA GL extension (`org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-XXX`), which must exactly match the host NVIDIA driver version (down to the patch digit). CachyOS is rolling-release, so `nvidia-smi` driver version drifts ahead of the installed Flatpak extension after routine system updates — this silently breaks EGL/DRI2 initialization (`failed to create dri2 screen`, `driver (null)` in logs), even though nothing about Bambu Studio itself changed.
+
+**Diagnosis:**
+```bash
+# Host driver version
+nvidia-smi --query-gpu=driver_version --format=csv,noheader
+
+# Installed Flatpak NVIDIA GL extension
+flatpak list | grep nvidia
+```
+If these two versions don't match exactly (e.g. host `610.43.03` vs Flatpak extension `610-43-02`), that's the cause.
+
+**Fix:**
+```bash
+flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-<matching-version>
+```
+Then fully quit and relaunch Bambu Studio (a reboot isn't required, but doesn't hurt).
+
+**If Flathub hasn't published the matching extension version yet:** switch off Flatpak entirely and use the AUR binary instead, which uses the host driver directly and avoids this whole class of bug on future driver updates:
+```bash
+paru -S bambu-studio-bin
+```
+
+**Confirmed fix applied:** 2026-07-11, installing the matching `org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-610-43-03` extension resolved it.
