On the other hand, a metal printing setup that might be capable of making a proper unit would come to about $120,000 at minimum.

That is the part that has a select fire switch and machining which allows fully automatic fire. These parts are available but they're very expensive and highly regulated. In the US, to own a gun with one requires extensive paperwork from the US government (see the National Firearms Act).
I think one can print their own now, without the serial number. I remember seeing a home-gamer-journalist did it for a story. It took some handholding, but with money and a bit of study, he was able to print one with his own machine.

I don't know much about guns, but this looks cheaper than what you said, and is a few years old.All I needed for my entirely legal DIY gunsmithing project was about six hours, a 12-year-old’s understanding of computer software, an $80 chunk of aluminum, and a nearly featureless black 1-cubic-foot desktop milling machine called the Ghost Gunner.
The Ghost Gunner is a $1,500 computer-numerical-controlled (CNC) mill sold by Defense Distributed, the gun access advocacy group that gained notoriety in 2012 and 2013 when it began
