Has anyone ever tried making a kind of hybrid design using both 3d printed and cnc milled aluminium parts? I'm about to build a aluminium-capable cnc, so if anyone has any Ideas for me to try, I'd be very happy!

The Stack-A-Gat19 by SCSM would be a pretty good start. A mostly milled Harlot seems doable since the side plates are printed flat. Honestly, a lathe may be a better option since it opens up making barrels, launcher hulls, anything cylindrical etc.
