I was disappointed to see a perfectly good prank foiled around 00:34 when those people sat on the couch which was NOT skilfully covered proto-pipe.

This would be a great way to prototype new Internet nodes, which are just a series of tubes.

FTFY.

It would be pretty cool if you could extrude a full sized furniture prototype out of a gun, somehow, though.
