Pizza Hut has taken a delightful leap into marrying pizza with console gaming by introducing the PIZZAWRMR. This nifty gadget is tailor-made to perch on your PlayStation 5 console, ensuring your favorite cheesy treat stays warm as you embark on epic gaming quests. However, it’s not available for purchase or as a giveaway; instead, Pizza Hut Canada has generously shared the 3D printing files for free. Gamers and pizza enthusiasts alike can sign up to download, modify, and print their very own device.
The PIZZAWRMR’s design draws inspiration from Pizza Hut’s iconic red roof, incorporating a lid that opens like a laptop for easy access to pizza slices. According to the folks at Pizza Hut, you can fit several slices in the top compartment. The cleverly engineered design channels the hot exhaust from the console directly into the pizza chamber, which their marketing team humorously describes as “science and engineering for the greater good.”
Included in the download are STL files and a detailed PDF guide. These materials offer everything you need to print the body, left stand, lid, manifold, and compatible stand. The provided design is specifically adapted to fit consoles sporting rear ventilation dimensions of 11.7 by 1.31 inches. If you’re planning to print the PIZZAWRMR, note that your 3D printer’s bed should be at least 15 by 15 inches to fit the entire model. This requirement might limit the options to larger printers like the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max or the Prusa XL, unless you opt to print in parts.
To safeguard your beloved console from crumbs and grease, Pizza Hut suggests using a 34 x 23 x 2.5 cm foil tray within the warmer. It’s a mystery why they used metric for the tray dimensions—maybe it’s a nod to their Canadian roots. Their guide humorously advises gamers to fire up their consoles to preheat the PIZZAWRMR before nestling in the pizza slices. Naturally, their medium pizza slices are the perfect fit.
In recent years, fast-food chains dabbling in projects aimed at gamers isn’t unheard of. KFC made waves in 2020 with its bucket-shaped KFConsole, initially a playful idea that eventually evolved into a genuine Intel NUC-powered gaming console with a nifty fried chicken drawer.
For dedicated gaming enthusiasts, Pizza Hut’s creative concoction is yet another fun addition to the ever-growing intersection of gaming and quirky culinary inventions.
