I am not the bravest person when it comes so socializing, so I am not very forum-savvy. However, I am a nerd who loves to learn and I am going to do my best to share what I learn just in case it helps you all. ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
As far as I know (I have never 3D printed), yes. I vaguely remember a guy who tows around a 3D printer on his bike into parks, and prints parts for people. It wouldn’t be instant(I’m guessing they tell the person to come back later), but it is possible. I’ll try to find the video haha.
Keeping in mind I’ve never 3D printed, here are some sites that look promising.

Also, I’ve seen tutorials for 3D printing on Instructables, and people sometimes give download files in the instructions.
This one doesn’t list all of them, but it has some: https://www.repaircafe.org/en/visit/
This site might help with planning!
It looks like there are some! https://www.repaircafe.org/en/visit/
They go off of who volunteers. For example, if a person who specializes in fixing stand mixers volunteers, that will be one of the tables people can visit. That repair person brings the parts (for example, there are a few parts in stand mixers that tend to break, so the repair person would know to bring fixes for those). I have also heard of repair cafe’s elsewhere even bringing in 3D printers to help with part replacement.

I like the idea of a wicker basket coffin with natural-fiber clothes…and an added sword just to confuse future archaeologists •ˋᴗˊ•
