Hello,
I'm looking to create a bioprinter that will not be using a heater bed or any temperature sensors. Is it possible to easily remove the thermistor and heater from code without breaking it? Also, if anyone knows of a different firmware available similar to Marlin, supporting SD and LCD, that will work please let me know.
Thank you.

Marlin should be fairly easy to modify for this. It is similar to the modifications needed for a clay extruder. See this video, for example: [www.youtube.com]

I would not remove the heater code. I would just relax it so it doesn't do anything.
Setting TEMP_SENSOR_BED to 0 disables the heated bed. I believe Marlin will complain if you set all TEMP_SENSOR_n settings to 0. It wants at least 1. Roxy, I wonder if it's worth modifying Marlin to allow zero temperature sensors, since I see more users all the time who would like to do paste extrusion or ceramics.

Yeah... Forcing there to be at least one seems like an arbitrary restriction. There are going to be some machines that really don't need any.
