As it turns out, printed guns are a lot further along than people think.

There are many. The FGC-9 is the flagship right now, as it it uses no regulated components in Europe. There are many pistols too, plus rifles. Here's the very silly printed AKM receiver launch video, the Plastikov: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_gjwGNkVX8
Awesome, thanks. Do you know how much the components cost for any one of these firearms? I'm curious how the price compares to just buying a standard gun.
Well over $1000 for a factory CZ Scorpion with minimal bells and whistles. The barrels range from $150-250, the bolt and fire control group together is probably another $200. Plus the cost of the printer (which is about $200), $700 will build this gun though you will save an assload of money printing magazines.
Very cool, I appreciate the info.
The truth of all printed guns is printing the magazines is always a winning move. A spring costs $1-2, and the plastic materials of a 30-round glock magazine are about $2-5 depending on how fancy you get. They each last 500-600 rounds, but the spring lasts longer.
