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,
RE: My Z axis seems to not be moving.
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,
