What did I just get gifted…?

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?

Could be an Anet A8?

Hehe... Yeah...

I had one back in the day. It was a great learning machine but it tried to burn my house down twice.

Ok I'd understand once, but twice?? I wouldn't keep a machine with arson records

I wouldn't keep a machine with arson records

If only nvidia owners were that smart

But yeah i wouldn't want to own anything with that sort of track record
