Yep you can make a zip gun with a couple pieces of pipe and a nail.
You can buy resin molds for the AR-15 lower, which is the regulated part. Then just buy all of the non-regulated parts retail and assemble a "ghost gun". There's also things like the FGC-9 which is mostly printed parts. And the Luty SMG if you're skilled enough.
This genie is so far out of the bottle, it's lapped the regulators and is going around again.
I honestly think those are better than the printed plastic versions in every use case except one.
