where does one get ghost gun STLs anyway? Thingiverse? Etsy?

Fully 3D printed guns are nonsense, at least of you are using an FDM or resin printer. Filaments and resins are just not tough enough to take the pressure and even when using tiny bullets combined with extremely short barrels to reduce the pressure (which will make the shot extremely weak) it’s a 50:50 chance on each shot to blow up the gun.
And if you have access to a €50k metal SLS printer, you likely have access to much cheaper tools for conventional gun building.
What is a thing though is combining conventional gun building (for the barrel and the other main components) with FDM/resin printing (for things like the handle grips) to remove the need for skills like woodworking.
And yes, the STLs for that are just a google search away.

There are firearms related .stl’s that can be found, but they are accessories rather than the actual parts that make a firearm function. But there are forums that do discuss and build 3D printed firearms that can be found with some searching.
I’ve done a couple of designs, shims for a Winchester SX4 shotgun to fit several guns to their owners for target shooting and hunting. And an easy loader for my P365XL. That 12 round double stack single feed clown car of a magazine is hard to load without it. But I haven’t bothered to publish either design and I have never wanted to either.
