Donating an old 3D printer

My husband and I inherited a printrbot 3D printer from my late brother in law. He wasn’t the most gentle with it and it wasn’t as simple as just plugging it in and printing. Neither of us have the time or patience to work with it and after replacing the mother board and a few other pieces, my husband broke another piece and we shoved it in our closet to forget about it.

This machine was my brother in laws favorite thing. He made our son all sorts of Pokémon and never got the chance to do the same for our daughter. He was also on reddit constantly, so I thought I’d talk about this on reddit first.

I’d really love to donate it to a school or facility that knows more about the machines and could put it to use, even to use it for pieces would do it more good than our closet.

We have a few things of filament to donate as well. I’m looking for ideas in the area that could benefit from this donation.
