Pizza Hut has found a way to combine gaming and their iconic pizza with a new creation called the PIZZAWRMR. This clever gadget is designed to sit on top of your PlayStation 5, keeping your favorite pizza slices hot while immersing yourself in a gaming marathon. However, this isn’t something you’ll find on store shelves or win in a contest. Instead, Pizza Hut Canada is offering 3D printing enthusiasts a unique opportunity. They’ve made the source files available for anyone who wants to download, customize, and print their own PIZZAWRMR.
The design of this nifty device is a tribute to Pizza Hut’s distinctive red roof, opening up like a laptop for easy access to your warm, cheesy slices. Pizza Hut claims that it can hold multiple slices, and the design ingeniously utilizes the heat from your console’s exhaust to keep the pizza warm. They humorously describe this as using “science and engineering for the greater good.”
Upon signing up, you’ll receive STL files and an easy-to-follow PDF guide available from Pizza Hut Canada. These resources include 3D printing files for essential components like the body, stand, and manifold. According to the PDF guide, this setup is tailor-made for PlayStation 5 consoles with a specific rear ventilation size—11.7 x 1.31 inches—to ensure perfect compatibility. For the best results, your 3D printer should have a bed size of at least 15 x 15 inches. So, some of the popular 3D printers might not cut it unless you’re up for the challenge of modifying the model. You’d be looking at options like the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max, Prusa XL, or possibly the Elegoo Orange Storm Giga for this print job.
As fun as it sounds, it’s essential to protect your pricey console from inevitable crumbs and grease. Pizza Hut suggests popping a 34 x 23 x 2.5 cm foil tray inside the warmer for a cleaner experience. It’s interesting to see they’ve opted for metric measurements for the foil tray—perhaps a nod to their Canadian roots. Once you’ve set everything up, start your gaming session to let the PIZZAWRMR heat up, then place your pizza in the tray. Their medium slices fit perfectly!
The concept of fast-food companies crafting quirky gadgets for the gamer crowd isn’t unheard of. Back in 2020, KFC grabbed headlines with their KFConsole, a playful idea turned reality, featuring an Intel NUC-powered console with a unique fried chicken-warming compartment.
In this ever-blending world of gaming and dining, Pizza Hut’s latest endeavor is a playful, yet functional, step forward. Whether it’s just a clever marketing ploy or the next big trend, we can all appreciate the innovation that brings our two favorite pastimes a little closer together.
