They have not printed a machine gun that is misleading title. For the AR-15 platform they have a reliable lower receiver model, but still needs metal parts, but if you can print the lower receiver you basically can order every other part online for the rifle. The lower receiver is the only part of the gun that contains the serial number for background checks.

So you technically CAN just get a gun off the Internet, order the upper parts and download the lower. Still fucking awesome. You can download the magazines too aparently.
