Pizza Hut has cooked up a delightful fusion of cheesy delight and gaming comfort with their new PIZZAWRMR, crafted to perch atop your PlayStation 5 and keep your pizza warm during those intense gaming marathons. But don’t get too excited about finding it in stores or scoring it in a giveaway. Instead, Pizza Hut Canada offers the 3D printing files for free to anyone who signs up, allowing you to download, customize, and print your own.
Drawing inspiration from its iconic red roof, the PIZZAWRMR opens up like a laptop, making it super easy to grab a slice. It can hold multiple slices, and here’s the genius part: the clever design channels the hot air from your console right under the pizza, keeping it warm and ready for consumption. This, as the Pizza Hut marketing team playfully notes, is applying “science and engineering for the greater good.”
By downloading the package from Pizza Hut Canada, you’ll get STL files and a handy PDF guide, which provide all the instructions needed. You’ll find files specifically for the body, left stand, lid, manifold, and appropriate stand. The guide specifies that the PIZZAWRMR is crafted to fit consoles with rear ventilation dimensions of 11.7 x 1.31 inches. If you’re venturing into this DIY project, ensure your 3D printer’s bed is at least 15 x 15 inches. This means many standard 3D printers might not fit the bill unless you’re okay with slicing the model. So, you might want to consider a beefy model like the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max, a Prusa XL, or perhaps an Elegoo Orange Storm Giga.
However, you don’t want greasy drips or crumbs jeopardizing your beloved console, right? Pizza Hut suggests tucking a foil tray, measuring 34 x 23 x 2.5cm, inside the warmer for added protection.
Curiously, the instructions switch to metric dimensions for the foil tray—maybe it’s a Canadian thing? Regardless, the last tip in the guide nudges you to fire up your game to heat the PIZZAWRMR first, and then slide in your slices. Pizza Hut assures that their medium-sized slices nestle in perfectly.
Clever marketing ploys from fast food chains targeting gamers aren’t unfamiliar. KFC, for instance, rocked the boat in 2020 with their KFConsole, a console equipped with a warming drawer for fried chicken. What began as a jest turned into an Intel NUC-powered reality—showcasing just how boundless these culinary-tech collaborations can be.
