Does it make sense to 3D print these parts rather than injection-mould them?

The fact that you can repair your printer by using your printer is a big selling point imho.
One of the ways Prusa gets the quality they have is that they run a massive print-farm of their own printers to print the parts so they get to see all the issues up close. Printing the parts also makes them upgradeable and home-fixable for end-users.
