Firstly I would avoid plastic in a harpsichord like the plague, except of course for plectra. The jacks for a Zuckermann I saw were laser cut not printed. A nicer option would be using CNC cutting at least for registers and possibly jacks, I have seen CNC cut violin bridges without the nasty burnt edges from the laser. Of course laser or water jet cutting is appropriate for cutting metal parts such as fancy hinges.
