We now know that it is dangerous,cause the australian police built one
and it blew up after killing some balistics gell.
Of course we do not know what sort of inferior stuff they built it out
of or whether they followed instructions.

Do you suppose the AFP popped down the road to the ANU to borrow a 3D
printer, or do you think they wasted tens of thousands buying one just
to perform their little experiment?

The "gun" is made of ABS, you can print that on a $1000 printer like
"reprap".

They cost less than $2000 not much over $1000

It was all aimed at frightening the populace into not trying it,

They may have been trying to encourage the crims to
try it and have it blow up in their faces quite literally.

They are about $2000 to buy in Australia A4 size

Or there is a reason why guns have been made out of steel rather than
thermoplastics until now.

The KIT's costs that, you really think they could build one even IF you
don't factor in the cost of their wages while doing so?

Why all the fuss over a plastic gun anyway? You can buy a lathe for less than the
price of a 3D printer and make a REAL metal gun that fires more than once!!!

Exactly, but does require some skill. And it seems the big issue is the
metal detectors may not detct it, but personally I would think plastic
bullets might be an even bigger danger to the user than a plastic gun! Seems
to me like the shooter may be in as much, or more danger than the target

Because the printer requires no skill , makes an almost undetectable

weapon and one shot is all it takes

It is all academic as I doubt it will ever be used for nefarious
purposes (at least until better materials are developed)it is just a bit
of fun.

Correct , but it is the thin edge , I have more interest in printing

No skill?
I doubt that, you still have to put the right bits together correctly etc. The first test shot
could be the last for the gun and the shooter.

And though the weapon may be plastic, won't it still stand out like
dogs balls in a body scanner 'coz its full of organic compounds?

Likely, or you might just lose a hand if you're lucky

Put it in with hand luggage which goes thru X-ray scanner. The question of
what to do with the bullets is more tricky though.
