With the pressure generated in a round going off (something around 25000 PSI) there is no way a plastic breach would be able to withstand the pressure. The part they are printing takes the least amount of stress in the firearm and it still broke after a few shots.
They are also trying to print off magazines that hold 30+ rounds so exactly the magazines that the government is trying to ban. At the end of the video, they show a lower receiver which was able to withstand 600+ rounds of fire.
