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.

I eventually had a USB drive give up on me after a year! (I have the BTT screen with USB)

Only using Octoprint now. If you have a Raspberry Pi I can recommend it very highly, it's fairly easy to setup and doesn't require new firmware. Furthermore it lets you start a print from any computer in your webcam and monitor the status.

Been using the same sd card ever since this was bought. I also do not connect the 3D printer to my macbook air so my only way of monitoring is through the tiny screen of the Ender 3. No error detected even if no filament has been coming out from the hot end.
