You can buy the plans as long as they are sold by a licensed company. That’s where the buying part comes in but yes the sale or even transfer of the physical item is illegal.
If by SCOTUS you mean Trump, then he did say it was okay.
in 2015 Defense Distributed sued the government for the right to sell their blueprints for their 3d printable guns. They lost in the federal courts and their appeal failed under the ruling that it was a violation of current firearm export laws.
In 2018 the Trump administration settled with Defense Distributed and allowed them to share their blueprints as well as giving them $40,000 in compensation for previous legal fees. Side note: The founder of Defense Distributed left 3 months after the payment and was then arrested in Taiwan after having sex with an underage minor in Texas.
in 2019 the attorney general filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration and the federal courts reversed the Trump decision once again making it illegal to share files without a license.
As far as I am aware, I am not aware of any changes since then.
Ghost guns are unregulated firearms that anyone — including minors and prohibited purchasers — can buy and build without a background check.
3D printed guns fall solidly into this category.
This is not true. No one can legally buy them. You have to manufacture them yourself.
