Gcode execute without Endstops?

I´m mid in building my new Delta (XXL-Kossel).
Frame is ready to test movement with my new magnetic ballarms.

But how to execute a gcode-file neither having endstops installed nor hotend-heater and Bed-heater?

Can somebody give me an example how to do that? Want to do speed and acceleration tests for the magnetic ballarms.

thanx in advance

You don't need end stop if you tell the printer that the current position is a given point relative to the origin.

e.g. you can tell you are at 250mm over the bed with:
G92 X0 Y0 Z250 ; defines the position when homed - required while there is no endstops

have a look at the wiki page: RepRap Firmware macros#Homing without end switches [reprap.org]

You don't need to heat if there is no heat requirement in your movement file (by example you can use the RRP robot file, which don't have temperature)
