What do you think are the easiest 3D printed 9mm pistols to make at home? Could you send direct GunCAD links?

All practical 9mm handgun designs are "parts kit" builds that rely on a conventionally manufactured (machined steel) slide and barrel. If you can't find links to those yourself, you shouldn't be building your own firearms.

For a fully DIY 9mm firearm, you're generally going to be limited to something along the lines of the FGC9. And even those need a steel barrel so if you can't buy one, you'll need to learn how to machine one (either conventionally, or with electrochemical processes).

you can't 3D print a working pistol out of plastic, ATF intern.
