Yes it can. The main window can be resized and when you put your mouse on the left side of the log window, you can move it.

You don't need to worry about the voltage rating, just the amp and mh ratings.

Usually a graphics lcd puts the 5v regulator at it's limit. One fix is to remove D1 and supply 5v to the MEGA.

If you're not using the MAX endstops, you need to disable them in Marlin. In 1.02 you had to uncomment that define.

Current version is 1.15c. The allowable temperature drop was increased to 10C in 1.15b.

An emergency stop in software cannot be guaranteed to work, software does crash while looking fine. A real emergency stop mechanical switch will, since they're usually wired to kill all power to the device.

The flashing ? Means that you haven't homed the axes.
If the motors are only going in one direction, check the endstops with M119. When none are being depressed, they need to show open.

Have you tried a higher microstepping, like 1/16 or 1/32?

I'm using a 12v relay board: Using the relay output just like a mechanical endstop. Any delay caused by the relay doesn't affect it's operation.

The last time I had a similar noise, the stepper driver current was too low. Setting stepper current with A4988 & DRV8825:

Increasing the extrusion multiplier may fix it.

In the Z direction, either the stepper motors are loosing steps or the steps per mm hasn't been set correctly.

Video is private, can't see it.
Stepper motor noise can be caused by: running at full steps(higher the microstepping, the quieter it runs), mis-wired, insufficient stepper current, mechanical problems, stepper driver design.

Probably, but do not remove the rotor from the stator housing. If you remove the rotor, the stepper motor will lose torque.

One stepper coil to 1A & 1B and the other coil to 2A & 2B. Use a multiimeter to find which two wires is one coil.

1- The slicers are all making bad gcode (unlikely) Check by reading the gcode to see if anything looks wrong where it goes wrong.
2- Electrical interference, bad usb cable, cables are too long or routed badly for the lcd, flakey sd card. For the usb, try another cable or a different usb port on the computer. One pc that I have, the MEGA won't program with USB3, but the USB2 ports work fine. F

It's on the MEGA and right next to the DIN power connector. It's squarish with three pins on one side.

It may have been a build up of pla on or near the nozzle and it ended up in the print.

The one issue I ran into with the servo, was that it always moved a bit after the second probe. That movement would mess up the auto-leveling.

I recommend using dc42's ir sensor. The ir sensor can be used on glass, see
Grab the current Marlin RC from and install the current Arduino IDE. In Marlin's configuration.h, edit the usual settings, uncomment the AUTO_BED_LEVELING_FEATURE to enable bed leveling, set the x, y, & z offsets, and set the probe points. You should also uncomment and set the parts for safe z homing. Read the co

DC42 has said they will keep making the 085 as long as there is demand.

You don't need to. If you have a fan cooling the hotend, wait for it to get to about 45C before turning off. That's to keep the filament from getting jammed in the cold section.

Change this line to false:
#define min_software_endstops true
When it's false, you can go past all minimum endstops.

Looks like they changed things again...
Yes. The first one basically cuts the z homing speed in half and the other reduces the max feedrate for the z-axis.
