More than the electronics, I would be curious about the performance of 3d-printed plastic parts on a rocket. Are they strong enough?

3d printed PLA and spiral wound cardboard is generally fine for hobby rockets, until they start going supersonic - then you need metal.

I'm not sure the launch tube could withstand the heat of the rocket exhaust though. Although that might depend what it is printed with.

People have been doing 3d printed model rockets for a while now. With no payload they experience higher acceleration than this will.
