Comment on Want a 3D printer in New York? Get ready for fingerprinting and a 15 day wait

Apparently rebels in Myanmar are even using them.

Don’t they still use metal parts? Or was it 100% 3D printed?

The ones used in Myanmar are variants of the FGC-9 which indeed contain metal parts.
Currently the most common method of creating 3D printed guns are buying parts kit and printing the reciver (housing) for it. But the FGC-9 is specifically designed to be able to be made without any controlled parts, including the barrel. Any metal parts used can be bought in a hardware store.
