Among solids, you won't get a thermal conductivity much lower than any polymer has. Alas, they aren't mechanically strong.

Maybe the answer is to optimize the shape instead. Take a good material, adapt the design to its possibilities.

How necessary is the 3D printer? Maybe you could prints some parts of your design, and add a few ones manually, like tensile aramide strings that hold the insulated part to the rest. Or enclose the insulated part in a bed of cork that is only compressed.
