Current 3D printed guns like the FGC-9[1] make use of standard metal parts that can be bought at a hardware store. The bolt requires a single weld, though people have made weldless bolts[2]. The barrel is a metal tube that you can buy at a hardware store and rifle with ECM. Ammunition can be manufactured from blanks or deactivated ammo (both of which are legal in many parts of the EU).
The end result is a firearm built entirely with parts that are legal to purchase in the EU.[3] This will only get easier as 3D printers improve and weapon designs are refined.
