Overview
Yes. If you sacrifice Junk Diver plus two other non-token artifacts to activate Kuldotha Forgemaster, the sacrifices are paid as part of the activation and the sacrificed artifacts are in the graveyard when Junk Diver’s “When this creature dies” ability triggers, so Junk Diver can target one of the other sacrificed artifact cards in your graveyard (it cannot target itself because the ability says “another”) .
Step 1
You activate Kuldotha Forgemaster’s ability and pay its costs, which include tapping it and sacrificing three artifacts; Kuldotha Forgemaster itself may be among those sacrificed if you choose .
Step 2
As part of paying the cost, the three chosen artifacts are put into their owners’ graveyards from the battlefield (assuming no replacement effects).
Step 3
Because Junk Diver was put into the graveyard from the battlefield, its triggered ability (“When this creature dies, return another target artifact card from your graveyard to your hand”) triggers. At this point the other sacrificed artifacts are already in the graveyard, so they are valid targets .
Step 4
When that triggered ability is put on the stack, you choose a target that is an artifact card in your graveyard other than Junk Diver itself (the word “another” disallows targeting the card that’s the source). If the target is still a legal artifact card in your graveyard when the ability resolves, you return it to your hand.
Resolution
You may target one of the other artifacts that were sacrificed alongside Junk Diver when its “When this creature dies, return another target artifact card from your graveyard to your hand” ability triggers; Junk Diver cannot target itself because the ability requires “another” card. Kuldotha Forgemaster may be one of the artifacts sacrificed to pay the cost .
