Gcode G-code to make printer move around without actually printing

I have a Prusa i3 mk3sMK3S with the mmuMMU on it, and at. At my work, I'm creating a display case to advertise/show off the 3d3D printing we can do. I was thinking about putting the prusaPrusa in the display case and having it "run" for the two weeks we're in there and. I was thinking it'd be cool if I could have the printer pretend to print. I, i.e. move the axis'saxes around, move the bed every so often, etc...., but without the need to worry about if a print was messing up (it'll be in a locked cabinet I may not notice more than once a day).

I'd just slice a long print but then the prusaPrusa will wonder where the material is.... anyAny thoughts on how to create that custom gG-code?

Thank you
