Me and the boy, just finished building a 3D printer, doing some trials now.

For me, i'm planning on making avionics bays using it.

I've used 3D printing a couple times for rockets. Some complex fin profiles. Scale Nike fins. Integrated fincans. And custom altimeter sleds.
3D printing is a great technology and I can't wait to own my own printer so I could stop mooching off my schools.

3d printing would be a great way to form difficult shapes, such as a von-karmen nosecone profile for a mold, or even as a finished part.

    They seem pretty cool. If you search for the word rocket in
    Thingiverse there are a lot of interesting things...

        Are we going to start 3-D printing our rocket parts?
