Now all we need is a network of people who rent 3D printers so we can build our own goodies. No need to buy. Just rent.

Remember, plastic parts designed by computer can be the pattern to cut in steel with a plasma cutter. Those parts are more useful.

Pistol barrels can be made on a lathe.

Yes, it is possible to build a very nice weapon. Is it worth the effort? That depends on the circumstances.

Here is a nice prison made semi-auto firearm! Even the cartridges are hand made in a California prison!

Good luck finding ammo for it.

Someone needs to figure out how to 3d print ammunition.

Wonder how their shotgun design would be. You can already build one out of pipe. You could probably easily create ergonomic designs to make them as capable and friendly as a cheap crack barrel.

There are “barrel relines” out there where a barrel is bored out and a new liner is placed in the barrel. I could see using a piece of barrel liner in the printer to make a longer lasting gun.
