The Rocketship 🚀

About this model

Build a fun 3D rocketship by creating the main body, strengthening the walls, adding the wing fins and then customising it with a window and colourful details. This is a great beginner project for learning simple 3D assembly. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

🛒 What you'll need

  • A 3D pen
  • Eco-filament in several colours
  • A DoodlePad
  • A rocketship stencil

Step by step 👇

1

Assemble your materials

Step 1 rocketship

Print your stencil and gather your pen, DoodlePad and filament before you start. Getting everything ready first will make the whole doodling process much smoother. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Prepare all your colours in advance to keep the build flowing smoothly.
2

Build the body

Start by doodling the 4 pieces needed to construct the body of the rocket, then connect those pieces together as shown. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Try to keep each side similar so the rocket stands straighter at the end.
3

Strengthen the exterior

Fill in the walls of the rocket by doodling around the exterior. Go over each wall several times if needed — the more layers you add, the stronger it will be. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Wait a few seconds between layers so the filament hardens before adding more.
4

Doodle the wing fins

Go back to the stencil and doodle the four wing fins. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Make all four fins as even as possible for a cleaner final shape.
5

Attach the wings

Using the welding technique, attach the wing fins to the outside of the rocket. Position them symmetrically around the base, because these fins will help the rocket balance when finished. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Customise your rocket

Doodle the window circle on the stencil and attach it to the rocket with the welding technique. Then add a pop of colour to the tip and anywhere else you like to make your rocket your own. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

💡 Pro tip

Let each outer layer cool fully before adding another one. That makes the body of the rocket much stronger and helps it keep its shape. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
