If you have a CNC mill capable of doing such fine work and have already programmed it, why not just make them that way rather than 3D printing in plastic, which will probably have less-crisp lines and poorer details? It would seem you presently have all the hard parts figured out for how to do it in metal.

Note that Shapeways can print parts in aluminum, gold, and platinum as well as various types of plastic. Unfortunately printing in metal is not cheap.
