The Z-Axis Stall pertain to the up & down movement of the carving head.

I have received this message as well and the fault was the flex cable housing pulled out of the motor! The screw that tightens the clamping arrangement or the tapped surface ( I will take it apart this afternoon) is stripped and consequently will not tighten

Clean the Z rails with a nylon hard bristle brush. Make sure you do both sides and move the Z truck so you get the portion of the rail that is it covering up. This will remove any pitch or other debris that you can't see. Also works for Y axis stalls when you clean the Y rails.

This has worked for me.
