So 3d printed guns will be illegal if they do that?

Not necessarily, but you won't be able to buy the parts to finish a 3d printed frame without a 4473.

This seems like the most likely approach to me. They are going to expand the definition of a firearm to cover the parts that are harder to print like barrels.

FGC-9 already solves this though:

A barrel is just a piece of round stock with a specific diameter and pitch. Gun smithing lathes are called so specifically because they are the right size to make gun parts.
