If you print Potassium Nitrate/Sorbitol[0] with direct granule extruder[1] you could do it. But this will probably need additional toolhead for engine body[2] (plastic-fiber composites DO have enough strength to survive using KNSB in engine, I've seen tests, but those are not publicly available) and for ceramic nozzle[3]. With some experimenting, probably doable.
