Pizza Hut has cleverly intertwined the realms of scrumptious culinary delights and console gaming with their latest creation, the PIZZAWRMR. This nifty contraption is tailor-made to grace the top of your PlayStation 5, ensuring your pizza remains deliciously warm while you dive into intense gaming sessions. However, don’t get too excited about finding it on the shelves or snagging it as a giveaway. Pizza Hut Canada is offering something cooler: the 3D printing source files are available for free download. Just sign up, and you can print, tweak, and assemble your own at home.
The PIZZAWRMR takes its visual cues from Pizza Hut’s iconic red roof, opening up like a laptop for easy access to those mouthwatering slices. Pizza Hut claims that you can fit several slices up top, thanks to its clever design that channels the console’s hot exhaust to keep your pizza cozy. “Science and engineering for the greater good,” as Pizza Hut’s marketing team puts it.
When you download from Pizza Hut Canada, you’ll receive a set of STL files along with a handy PDF guide. These files cover everything: the main body, stands, lid, and manifold. According to the PDF, this gadget is “specifically engineered to fit consoles with rear ventilation measuring 11.7 x 1.31 inches.” You’ll also need a pretty sizable 3D printer with a bed of at least 15 x 15 inches—suggesting models like the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max, Prusa XL, or perhaps the Elegoo Orange Storm Giga might be suitable.
Of course, while indulging, make sure to protect your precious PS5 from pesky crumbs and greasy smudges. Pizza Hut recommends slipping a 34 x 23 x 2.5cm foil tray inside the warmer to catch any mess. Why they chose to switch to metric measurements for the tray is anyone’s guess—maybe it’s a nod to their Canadian roots? To get started, fire up your console to preheat the PIZZAWRMR, then nestle your slices in the tray. For the perfect fit, medium-sized pizza slices from Pizza Hut work best.
The whole concept might remind you of KFC’s 2020 KFConsole escapade, where a playful idea turned into a bucket-shaped gaming console, complete with a fried chicken chamber. These fast-food-meets-gaming endeavors might be an adventurous marketing tactic, but they sure do hit the fun and quirky spot.
Keep an eye on Pizza Hut’s livestream to see the PIZZAWRMR in action. It’s a light-hearted twist to augment your gaming experience and keep the munchies at bay.
