There are limits to what types of material can be used in 3D printing. I think the technical difficulties in using resin that can be 3D printed to create a gun that won't explode in the user's hand is still to be overcome.

So I am guessing 3D printed guns won't proliforate yet.

If you must make a gun from scrath, you might be better off making a single shot smooth bore weapon using real sheet metal and a simple metal shop. People have done it before. In WW2 the US produced a one shot handgun that cost 5 cents to make, using equipment for stamping the bowl shaped headlights on 1940s era cars.
