Which printer/material would be best for long lasting firearms?

Title:

It's difficult to slog through all the information. I hear "ender 3" over and over, and there is the original one on sale now for ~$160, but can that one take all the modifications to print nylon? Is nylon the best?

Is it even possible to print a receiver that can last say 2k or more rounds?

Would a budget of $500 make a marketable difference?

How about $1000?

3D printed guns are awful. Interesting but awful. They won't last long at all. They're disposable weapons.

Totally incorrect. No quality 3D printed gun is 100% plastic anyway.

Yes they are. You're thinking of 3d milling versus 3d printing. Ghost gunner for example: is often called a 3d printer, but it's not. It's just automated milling.
