Pizza Hut is bringing a slice of innovation to gamers with its latest creation – the PIZZAWRMR. This quirky gadget is designed to sit perfectly on top of your PlayStation 5, ensuring your pizza remains at just the right temperature while you’re deep into your gaming marathon. However, don’t rush to the nearest store; it’s not available for purchase or part of a promotional giveaway. Instead, Pizza Hut Canada has generously released the 3D printing files for free, inviting fans to download, customize, and print their very own PIZZAWRMR.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic red roof of Pizza Hut, this unique warmer opens like a laptop, giving easy access to your pizza slices. Pizza Hut claims that a few slices can snugly fit into this top compartment. The design cleverly harnesses the warmth from the console’s exhaust, channeling it to keep your pizza hot, something the company’s marketing team whimsically describes as “science and engineering for the greater good.”
To get started with your PIZZAWRMR, you’ll need to download a set of STL files and a PDF guide provided by Pizza Hut Canada. The kit includes blueprints for the main body, stand, lid, and manifold. However, it’s crucial to note that the design aligns exclusively with consoles featuring rear ventilation dimensions of 11.7 x 1.31 inches. For 3D printing novices, make sure your printer has a sizable bed of at least 15 x 15 inches; otherwise, you might need to break the model into smaller pieces. If you’re on the hunt for suitable printers, consider the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max, a Prusa XL, or an Elegoo Orange Storm Giga.
Speaking of practical tips, it’s advisable to insert a 34 x 23 x 2.5 cm foil tray inside the warmer to prevent crumbs and grease from interfering with your console. Intriguingly, Pizza Hut switches to the metric system for these measurements, possibly because it’s a nod to their Canadian operations. Before diving into your game, the PDF suggests heating up the PIZZAWRMR by starting your console. Once it’s warm enough, it’s time to tuck your pizza slices inside, with medium-sized slices fitting most comfortably.
Of course, this isn’t the first time a fast-food giant has dabbled in gaming-themed projects. Remember the KFConsole from KFC in 2020? It began as a whimsical concept but soon gained traction, evolving into a real Intel NUC-powered machine complete with a compartment to keep your fried chicken warm.
In the ever-evolving world of partnerships and marketing strategies, it’s clear that fast-food chains are cooking up clever ways to engage with their gamer customers. Keep an eye out for these innovative crossovers—it’s all about keeping your snacks as hot as your gaming console!
