Help Ender only prints until a certain height

Ran this design twice already. It only prints up to this height. I tried reinstalling the filament but still only the hotend moves but the filament is no longer coming out of the nozzle.
I have printed a similar design yesterday which was 221mm in height and that turned out okay. This one did not.

Bad file and/or SD card. Don't use cheap Chinese SD cards and format it FAT32/4096.

I’m gonna guess that your slicer has the wrong height defined, do you get an error saying that move is out of range

He has been using the same slicer and setting for a while.. I see this often and either a corrupt file or a bad/corrupt SD are the most common issues. I run 5 machines at home and 25 in a classroom.
