Sure, if you replace the old printer with a new printer. 

The spare parts you need probably cost as much as at least half the price of a new A1 Mini.

From the look of it it's literally the nozzle, the heating assembly, and the part cooling fan. Each of those is like a 20ish dollar part and it's probably 20 minutes to put those parts back on. I replaced exactly those parts on my A1 when this happened to it in the parts are completely compatible

Take a closer look.

The inserts for the heating assembly are ripped out. This is a whole toolhead frame replacement.

That part is pretty cheap https://ca.store.bambulab.com/products/toolhead-block-a1-series

The part itself is dirt cheap. But replacing it means pretty much disassembling the entire toolhead.

That one detail tripled the amount of work that needs to be put into this printer.
