There are multi-headed 3D printers, but they're usually for printing large items.
They're not really practical for a small item like this as they'd get in each other's way.

I can imagine the material being deposited creates a limiting factor or at the very least an unwieldy print head
unless you could deliver the material faster with a multidirectional nozzle in a controlled manner.

I read an article about that recently

Presumably still in experimental stages at the moment. Of course, "The team is also in discussions with the US Department of Defence about using the morphing nozzle to support the production of weapons" because obviously that's the priority.
