How about casting your AR lower in chocolate?
If it cracks - eat it.

Here's a fairly detailed review of the process from a member of CalGuns.

Because manufacturing a firearm currently requires skill and equipment that a bored kid usually doesn't have. When 3d printing comes onto the scene, anyone can start printing and that means loss of control. There's still work to be done before we are at that point, but that is where we are going.
This is actually incredibly interesting for me. Does anyone know if you could build these in a banned state? My current state (WA) is headed that direction and it would be nice to have the accessibility to something like this. Plus, I don't think it would be out of the question to have a "pour party" if you will. I'm not opposed to cheap lowers on a plinking gun. I already have all of my guns built that would require any hard use.

It's better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
We already have a pour party.
The day we jar a batch of homemade blackberry wine.
It takes a couple hours at least to filter and jar about 5 gallons.
But I do like the idea of pouring an AR.
It would be nice if we can add to the mix. Maybe my grandsons can add my ashes to their AR lower.

3d printing has already come a long way in terms of creativity and reliability. There are people who are actually printing and using 3d printed superchargers on their vehicles. I don't own a 3d printer, but a friend of mine tole me recently that they have a media material now that is similar to a cold weld material like JB weld.

that is true, but most people and I mean probably 80% of people making stuff on 3d printers open sourced there objects. There are huge libraries anyone can join and buy the file to print. You are relying on the file to have been engineered by a trusted, knowledgeable and reliable source. Most 3d printer users are printing what is available online through these libraries which is trinket type stuff and models of ordinary objects. Ive seen only a few uses actually sit down and design from scratch something interesting. The whole idea on 3d printing is to do it yourself, if you have to out source the job to a 3rd party, you already have a paper trail with the original email with the file.
So 3D printing doesn't require skill and equipment?
It's a different medium, for sure. But anything that would scare "the government" is going to have to be on a completely different scale.
Again, people can build REAL guns with an 80% lower and an old Bridgeport now.
