SOrrry, what was that printed in? I have a Prusa MKIIS that can print in a number of plastics but last I heard sintering was a 10k buy-inAnyone else 3D printing? With the release of the glock 17 files for a 3D printed receiver and people now saying they are functioning well with thousands of rounds of ammo through them it's starting to look more appealing to get a printer. If the prices for sintering furnaces come down the media for printing in stainless, titanium, bronze, copper and others are already available and will work in a $750 printer.

people are printing receivers and mags in PLA. Like these:

But I have been waiting for a home printer that can print in metal.
These guys have 80% metal impregnated filaments that will work in a printer that prints PLA like yours
Copper Filament - Metal 3D Printing - Desktop Metal Printing—Metal, Glass, Ceramic 3D Printing | The Virtual Foundry, inc.
Highest metal content copper metal filaments for 3D printing on the desktop. Filamet™ is a composite metal filament that works with nearly all existing 3D printers and sinters with simple atmosphere furnaces that have been commercially available for decades.www.thevirtualfoundry.com
but you still need the sintering furnace to finish it and those run $30,000. (well, you can get one for $800 on alibaba but I doubt a chinese furnace at that price could even cook pizza)
