Local School has old 3D printers - What to do with them?

[Dragons_Blood]

A local college in my town has a ton of older 3D printers such as cupcakes, mendels, etc. The faculty in charge was asking me what he should do with them. He was just going to throw them out because they are all pretty much inusable. I really didn't have a better solution for him, so I thought I'd ask you guys, what you would suggest doing.

Any ideas?

If they work, I'd gladly buy them...


If they don't work, I'd gladly buy them for less money and fix them...




Where are you located? What school is it?

Definitely do not throw them away!

Plenty of salvageable parts and components if they're beyond repair.

Also, makerspaces would probably be happy to receive them in any condition.
