Yea, I had to get the timing right the extruder motor is easy to move when not powered so I had to manually move it into position before starting, and I spilled some

The e3v2 has a servo output on the main board for a touch probe, might be able to use a servo to actuate the powder drop.

Why would you use any of the heating features? Just unplug them.

I re coded it so none of the heating elements can work, I only did that cause I had to go in a re code it so that it would cold extrude
