Despite the tech-cool factor of the project, Tom’s Hardware does not condone making your own weapons system at home.

I’d love your sources for this.
If you want to do a deep dive into funding and grant structure, I suggest actually looking up your favorite country’s call for proposals venues. In the US that used to be the NSF (https://www.nsf.gov/focus-areas/manufacturing). Or you can look up how big various research groups are (the UK have some truly massive additive manufacturing groups).
Or just plug your ears because… I don’t even know why. You do you.
If you ever received any pushback on this theory, this is why. Asking for evidence is not “plugging my ears”. Incredible claims require incredible evidence, and you have provided nothing beyond a single link to the NSF, which is literally a government agency made for funding research into making literally everything. That’s not funding additive manufacturing for war purposes. That’s funding for all of the manufacturing methods because it’s just good fucking sense as a government to keep your technological edge.
You also included all (or many) of the wofld governments, not just the USA in your claim. Your half ass source doesn’t even include any government other than the USA.
Forgive me for not immediately trusting that the world governments are all funding additive manufactueing specifically to make war more efficient when you can’t even try to source anything beyond just the USA nsf.
