I'm a bit curious why making these items seem to take you a long time to machine if you have a small cnc. Do you think it could be your approach to the way you are machining them? There are many methods that can be used to drastically reduce machining time, it is only plastic after all. If you want to give me a run down of the exact process you are using, may be I can help you reduce your machining time down to tolerable levels or even better than tolerable.
I think even on a home made basis injection moulding will be prohibitive cost wise unless you need to produce these in the tens of thousands. Of course where there is a will there is way, the time spent making the set up and the cost maybe better spent perfecting the machining process.
Kind regards,
Scott
