Do a lot of people do it? Maybe the answer is a tentative yes, given news like the recent case about guns and 3D printing.

I would put "you can make anything" -> "I will print guns!" strongly in the "no creative ideas" category.
Honestly, it's baffling that anyone would put real effort into printing guns when it seems as though some countries cough make it easy to pick one up at Walmart.
There are plenty of companies iterating on and selling these products so I assume yes, people are buying them.

In my observation these news lead to maker nerds "prepper-buying" (get such a machine before they become forbidden) quite a lot of such machines recently. :-)
