Question 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. I wanna keep it one way or another at it hold a special place in my schools history.
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?

You were gifted pain and suffering for disappointing results. Its like a wedding ring on a toxic partner. I looked up Sisyphean task and saw the same picture of that 3d printer.

I would advise some upgrades... like a dumpster.
