The pressure-bearing components usually aren't 3D-printed, but it turns out those aren't hard to make from innocuous stuff found at any hardware store (or if you're in America just buy "spare parts" lmao).
Fun fact: There are 3d printers for metal materials too. But obviously very expensive
I was under the impression that only receivers were actually regulated in the US ? So yeah, if you can print a receiver you should be able to legally buy the rest of the gun as spare parts
Printing is probably easier but is actually unnecessary.

I'm pretty sure that if you order from this website you get put on a list, but if you don't have a 3D printer, a few minutes with a Dremel is all you really need.
