I have been making 3d parts from 2d laser cut ABS sheet for several years now.
I am about add a 3d printer to one of the tools in my box.
I have searched and searched to see if anyone is printing directly
onto flat ABS that remains a permanent part of the finished piece without success.
It seems to me that this should work.
uuummmm...do you mean in the sense of printing ABS onto an already manufactured ABS part?
i.e. Printing onto the surface of a Lego?
Either way, if you are trying to bond ABS to ABS, you can easily achieve this by using super glue, acetone, or ABS+acetone slurry. So printing parts piece by piece and gluing them together is a very common practice. Look up some of Serin's projects. She could easily give you an expert's guide to achieving this.
Stratasys does it IIRC, so I'd say it works just fine.

Well yes kind of...
I would like to "build up" existing 2d shapes to add dimension and hopefully speed up assembly
