# 3D Printed Rocket Sparrow Takes Flight (Video)

April 16, 2012

Launching a 3D printed rocket combines everything we love, the freedom of flight, the danger of rockets and, 3D printing. We were super excited when images of a [3D printed rocket were posted in the It Arrived forum](/content/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=9135&start=0&/index.html) by Leo Rolph and now we are happy to see the first video of the launch.

**Fly little Sparrow, Fly…**

The rocket is powered by a [Model Rocket Engine](http://www.estesrockets.com/rockets/engines) that seem relatively cheap to purchase online.
