Pizza Hut has bridged the gap between delicious nosh and the gaming world with its latest creation, the PIZZAWRMR. This clever contraption is designed to perch on top of your PlayStation 5 console, keeping your delivery slices nice and warm while you tackle a thrilling gaming session. But don’t expect to find this in stores or as part of a contest prize. Pizza Hut Canada has generously provided the 3D printing files for free to anyone who registers, allowing you to download, tweak, and print it yourself.
The PIZZAWRMR takes design cues from Pizza Hut’s iconic red roof. It features a lid that opens like a laptop for easy pizza slice retrieval. Pizza Hut claims the top box can hold several slices. Ingeniously, the heat produced by the console’s exhaust is redirected underneath, warming the pizza area, a feat that the Pizza Hut marketing team proudly describes as “science and engineering for the greater good.”
You’ll receive STL files and a detailed PDF guide when you download from Pizza Hut Canada. The 3D printer files include components for the body, left stand, lid, manifold, and a suitable base. According to the PDF guide, the design is “specially engineered to fit the console with rear ventilation of 11.7 x 1.31 inches.” For printing, make sure your 3D printer’s bed measures at least 15 x 15 inches; otherwise, you’ll need to split the model into smaller pieces. Consider using models like the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max, Prusa XL, or Elegoo Orange Storm Giga for the job.
To safeguard your pricey console from crumbs and grease, Pizza Hut suggests placing a 34 x 23 x 2.5 cm foil tray inside the warmer. It’s a bit curious that they opted for metric—to each their own, although it’s possibly a nod to their Canadian base of operations. The finishing touch from the fast-food giant’s guide? Fire up your console and let it heat up the PIZZAWRMR, then place your slices in the tray—medium-sized pies work best.
In the realm of fast food branching into side ventures for gamer allure, Pizza Hut is not alone. Back in 2020, KFC made waves with its KFConsole, a playful concept that evolved into a real Intel NUC-powered console, complete with a warming compartment for fried chicken.
Fast food and gaming partnerships continue to stir up excitement, and Pizza Hut’s PIZZAWRMR adds another slice to the digital dining experience.
