3D Printed guitar building parts?

Any of you guys use 3d printed parts for guitar builds to add in manufacture?

I have a 3d printed mitre box for cutting fret slots and drill templates for inline tuners and Tele string ferrules. Anything else I should add?
 
I'm always dreaming of making these little flaps that close battery compartments. They tend to break or get lost.

But I don't know whether any 3D printed material has just the right flexibility for the springy tab.
 
Can you make a pickguard with a 3d printer?

Maybe not a full strat
But maybe a short tele style?

Give it some texture?

Seems like you could print a glow in the dark logo
Then inlay it on the headstock

I don't care for plastic on the guitar, but as a cheap prototyping tool its helpful. Perhaps I could print a guard off as a template for a wooden one
