Pizza Hut’s Innovative PIZZAWARMR: A 3D-Printable Device Utilizing PlayStation 5 Heat to Keep Pizza Hot

Pizza Hut’s latest innovation brings together the unlikely duo of mouthwatering pizza and console gaming with its unique creation, the PIZZAWRMR. This imaginative gadget is designed to sit over your Sony PlayStation 5, keeping your pizza slices warm and ready for munching while you get lost in your gaming world. But don’t rush to the store just yet—this isn’t a purchasable item or a contest prize. Instead, Pizza Hut Canada is generously offering 3D printing files absolutely free to anyone who signs up. You can download, alter, and print to your heart’s content.

Drawing inspiration from the restaurant’s iconic red roof, the PIZZAWRMR opens like a laptop, granting easy access to your pizza slices. The clever design allows several slices to nestle comfortably within its confines. Ingeniously, the heat from the console’s exhaust is directed beneath the pizza compartment, an approach Pizza Hut’s marketing team dubs as “science and engineering for the greater good.”

Once you’ve signed up, you’ll get your hands on a treasure trove of digital goodies, including STL files for 3D printing and a PDF guide. These files cover parts like the body, lid, manifold, and stands. However, pay attention to the specifics: the setup is tailored for a console with rear ventilation measurements of 11.7 by 1.31 inches. Additionally, your 3D printer needs a bed size of at least 15 by 15 inches to accommodate the PIZZAWRMR. If your printer doesn’t meet these specs, you might have to slice the model or consider printers like the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max or a Prusa XL.

To protect your cherished console from pizza debris, Pizza Hut suggests slipping a 34 by 23 by 2.5 cm foil tray into the warmer. Interestingly, they’ve opted for metric measurements for the tray, perhaps as a nod to Canadian standards. The advice in their PDF is simple: fire up a game to heat the PIZZAWRMR and then lay your pizza slices inside. Medium-sized slices fit perfectly.

Fast food chains jumping into the gaming niche isn’t unheard of. Remember KFC’s KFConsole from 2020? What started as a humorous concept turned into an actual gaming console, complete with an Intel NUC and a built-in space for warm fried chicken. Who knows, Pizza Hut’s venture might just follow in those footsteps.
