I'm fairly certain that before, if you designed a regulation-fitting firearm yourself, printed it, but didn't share the schematics, you'd probably be OK regardless.
The important thing here is that it's now 100% legal to develop and share 3D printing schematics for guns online. The DoJ tried to hit this guy with a statue against unlicensed gun exporting to foreign countries, but he successfully defended himself by claiming that forcing him to take down a digital file that was previously open to everybody worldwide is a violation of his 1st amendment rights.

Well, it's kind of legal to own real firearms so just 3D printing them out of plastic sounds like quite the hassle, and mostly for demonstration purposes.
Now if you could 3d print out of much harder materials (or just make a very precise mold with the same hardware) that'd be problematic because you'd be able to manufacture gun with much similar specs to those commercially available.
It's a fine line, but it's still a line.

why is that a good thing burger bros?
If you're not a criminal you can purchase legally.
The only thing sharing schematics and using the case as a precedent will do is arm more criminals
