I'd sincerely recommend everyone to read his manifesto and think about it a little bit.

Yeah, the early 3D printed guns were garbage, but modern ones are much more durable. Changes in design have allowed for the use of off-the-shelf parts for the most important moving pieces, which means you have the durability of those off-the-shelf parts instead. The 3D print is basically just holding the machined parts together.

it's not like homemade guns are a new thing, it's just that now we can make them not look like pipe guns from fallout 4

Yeah but people don't consider printing a handle to be a "3d printed gun" unless you're trying to ban their existence entirely.
