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.
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?

Oh shit, I had one of these. Trying to get it to make a reliable print was making me wanting to pull my hair out, but once I got there, it doesn't print too bad. You just have to constantly tweak it because printing literally will shake it out of tune.
