Pizza Hut has taken a creative leap into the gaming world with their latest invention, the PIZZAWRMR. This quirky device bridges the gap between gaming and munching by sitting snugly on top of your Sony PlayStation 5, keeping your pizza warm while you dive into your favorite games. It isn’t something you’ll find on store shelves or win in a giveaway, though. Pizza Hut Canada has kindly made the 3D printing files available to anyone who signs up, allowing you to download, tweak, and print your very own PIZZAWRMR.
The PIZZAWRMR’s design takes a cue from the restaurant’s iconic red roof, opening like a laptop for easy slice access. Pizza Hut informs us that the console’s hot air is cleverly redirected to warm your pizza, which they describe with some flair as using “science and engineering for the greater good.”
Inside the download, you’ll find STL files and a helpful PDF guide. It provides everything needed for 3D printing, including files for the essential parts like the body and lid. Just keep in mind, the warming device is tailored specifically for consoles with rear ventilation dimensions of 11.7 x 1.31 inches, so your 3D printer needs a sizable bed—a minimum of 15 x 15 inches to get everything just right. It seems some 3D printers might struggle with this unless you’re ready to chop up the model, requiring specific models like the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max or Prusa XL.
Of course, you’ll want to protect your beloved gaming console from pizza-related peril, such as crumbs and grease. Pizza Hut wisely suggests placing a 34 x 23 x 2.5 cm foil tray inside the warmer. It’s intriguing they opted for metric measurements here—blame it on the Canadian influence! As the guide notes, crank up your gaming session to get the PIZZAWRMR hot, then pop in your pizza slices. Medium ones fit perfectly.
Fast food meets gaming isn’t exactly groundbreaking—remember KFConsole from KFC? Initially a whimsical idea, it turned into a bucket-shaped, Intel NUC-powered console that could store fried chicken. Fascinating stuff, right?
In the end, Pizza Hut’s foray into this fun crossover is just another chapter in fast food companies blending with gaming culture for laughs—and perhaps a little warmth on the side.
