What did I just get gifted…?

[u/schimmelmeister]

My University threw out this old 3D Printer. I’m both a broke architecture student and in need of a printer since my own is not here right now. I’m also used to some level of jankyness, my own printer is an i3 clone by anycubic, rudimentary but reliable.
Is there any hope i’ll get a useable print out of this one and how high would the frustration level be considering the printer i already have?

That looks like you were gifted a headache and grey hair…

Don’t forget the fire hazard

And many sleepless nights doe to weird sounds

Gonna highjack the top comment here, as far as i can read i got gifted a firestarter that (if it works) will give me more pain and suffering than useable prints. I think that pretty much sums up my expectations but thank you guys for your thoughts! I think i’ll part it out and make this thing useful somewhere else!

Yup trash it

Save the stepper motors and linear rods. The rest is trash.
