My Z axis seems to not be moving.

My Z axis works when I go into control and move it up and down, yet when I start a print, it completes the first layer, but it doesn't look like the axis moves after that. The strange thing is, I already printed the same thing that keeps messing up, last week. The only difference is the a slight change in the size of the text on top, but that shouldn't be affecting the lower layers. When the nozzle keeps moving with the Z-axis unresponsive, it burns the filament. Any ideas?

Thank you for all your help,

There are a couple of possibilities but let's check the settings first; save your project as a .3mf file

Files > Save Project as

Zip the .3mf and post it here. It will contain both your part and your settings for us to diagnose.

Cheerio,

The first link is the second version, the second link is the third version. Sorry, I ended up deleting the first version. They're supposed to be the base for a phone holder. The top is in a separate file, and printed fine last week. But I haven't had time to do a test print to see if anything's different. Sorry about the weird file names.  :/

Best regards,

Gcode is not much use for this - it contains the results but not, in a readable form, the settings. Post a .3mf as above.

Cheerio,
