They do occasionally print parts, but it's usually in resin and for repairs to damaged winglets or very fast changes if something came up they needed to try at the track whilst there (options on small parts that aren't worth wind tunnel time)
But nothing that's usually run in the race unless they have to, it's too slow to make, too heavy and not very strong.
