Pizza Hut has recently ventured into a unique fusion of culinary delight and gaming with their latest creation, the PIZZAWRMR. This intriguing device, crafted to perch atop your Sony PlayStation 5, promises to keep your pizza slices warm and ready as you dive into your gaming marathon. But don’t rush to your local store just yet—this isn’t something for sale or a prize to be won. Instead, Pizza Hut Canada has generously made the 3D printing files available to anyone who registers. Feel free to download, tweak, and print your very own version!
Taking a leaf from Pizza Hut’s design playbook, the PIZZAWRMR mirrors the iconic red roof of their restaurants. The top opens like a laptop, granting easy access to your cheesy treasure. Space isn’t a concern; the warmer is designed to accommodate multiple slices. ingeniously using the console’s hot exhaust to maintain the ideal pizza temperature. It’s a nod to how science and engineering can indeed elevate our everyday experiences, explains the folks behind Pizza Hut’s marketing strategy.
Once you’ve signed up for the files, you’ll get access to STL files and a comprehensive PDF guide. Inside, you’ll find 3D models for everything – the main body, side stand, the lid, and even the manifold. But there’s a catch. The existing design specifically fits consoles with rear ventilation at 11.7 x 1.31 inches. If your 3D printer has a bed of at least 15 x 15 inches, you’re all set. And what if it doesn’t? Well, you might be looking at printers like the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max, a Prusa XL, or even an Elegoo Orange Storm Giga to make your warm pizza dreams a reality.
That said, you’ll need to take a few extra steps to protect your beloved console. Crumbs and grease are the enemy, so Pizza Hut suggests popping a 34 x 23 x 2.5 cm foil tray into the warmer. The switch to metric for the tray measurements might throw you off, but maybe it’s just a nod to their Canadian roots. In line with Pizza Hut’s advice, fire up your gaming session to let the PIZZAWRMR heat up, and then settle your pizza slices. For the best fit, medium-sized slices are the way to go.
Pizza Hut isn’t the first to dabble with fun crossovers that capture gamers’ attention. Remember back in 2020 when KFC introduced us to the KFConsole? Initially a tongue-in-cheek project, it evolved into a functionally impressive Intel NUC-powered device complete with a space to keep your fried chicken warm.
