In an unexpected twist, Pizza Hut has combined the delicious world of pizza with the realm of console gaming, and the outcome is rather unique: the PIZZAWRMR. Tailored to perch atop your Sony PlayStation 5, this contraption keeps your favorite takeaway warm as you dive into intense gaming marathons. But here’s the catch—this isn’t a fancy new product you’re buying off the shelf or a contest prize. Pizza Hut Canada is offering the 3D printing files for free to anyone who registers, allowing you to download them, tweak them to your liking, and print them out.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic red roof of a Pizza Hut, the PIZZAWRMR comes with a lid that opens like a laptop, making it a breeze to grab a slice whenever you crave one. Pizza Hut assures that this warmer can house multiple slices at once. Ingeniously, the heat expended from the console isn’t wasted; it’s redirected to keep your pizza nice and toasty, a tactic Pizza Hut’s marketing team refers to as “science and engineering for the greater good.”
When you download the files from Pizza Hut Canada, you’ll receive files in STL format along with a PDF guide. These files detail how to construct the main body, the left stand, lid, manifold, and stand. The design, as it stands, specifically caters to the PlayStation 5’s rear ventilation, which measures 11.7 x 1.31 inches. For a smooth print, your 3D printer needs a bed at least 15 x 15 inches, meaning you’ll require a printer like an Elegoo Neptune 4 Max, a Prusa XL, or perhaps even an Elegoo Orange Storm Giga.
Moreover, to protect your precious console from any grease or crumbs, Pizza Hut recommends placing a foil tray measuring 34 x 23 x 2.5 cm within the warmer. There might be a bit of curiosity about the switch to metric measurements—maybe it’s a Canadian quirk. According to the PDF’s final nugget of wisdom, fire up your game to heat the PIZZAWRMR, then pop the slices into this tray for optimal warmth, with Pizza Hut’s medium slices fitting best.
Pizza Hut isn’t blazing an entirely new trail here. Food companies developing quirky projects to attract gamers isn’t exactly unheard of. Back in 2020, KFC made waves with its KFConsole, a concept initially meant as a joke but eventually evolved into an Intel NUC-powered console, complete with a warming drawer for fried chicken.
Watch the magic unfold in real-time during their upcoming livestream on the 29th, where you can catch the PIZZAWRMR in action. Stay tuned, pizza and gaming enthusiasts!
