   Don't have a 3D Printer... only know about what I've read🤷️   
   Hackaday has several pointers for this, mostly by using inserts:

   I've read that nuts can be embedded while printing too. Nut Traps?

   Thanks, I didn't know about that type of insert.   
      
   At Segway 'someone' inadvertently screwed a valuable injection molded   
   prototype part together with permanent Loctite and I was tasked to salvage   
   it. Such tasks are thankless to protect the guilty, typically a department   
   head with little hands-on experience.   
      
   Molten solder on the screw heads softened the plastic around the brass   
   inserts enough to ease out and unscrew them and epoxy in the hole secured   
   them back in well enough that I heard nothing more.   
      
   I made a number of repairs with epoxy covered with clear tape or plastic   
   film to make it hand moldable as it stiffened. Often in an electronics lab   
   one has to make repairs with office supplies, like Wite-Out as solder mask   
   and file folders to model sheet metal.
