Pizza Hut’s Innovative PIZZAWARMR: A Free 3D Printable Design that Utilizes PlayStation 5 Heat to Keep Your Pizza Hot

Pizza Hut has taken a bold step into the intersections of culinary delights and gaming tech with their latest creation, the PIZZAWRMR. This fascinating innovation, crafted to perch atop your Sony PlayStation 5, promises to keep your favorite pizza hot and ready as you dive into your gaming adventures. It’s not a product you can buy in stores or snag as a freebie, though. Pizza Hut Canada is offering the 3D printing plans at no cost for anyone willing to download, tweak, and print it at home.

Artfully drawing from the iconic red roof of Pizza Hut, the PIZZAWRMR features a lid that flips open akin to a laptop, providing easy access to your slices. Pizza Hut boasts that several slices can snugly fit within the device. Ingeniously, it utilizes the hot exhaust from the console to keep your pizza warm—a feat of “science and engineering for the greater good,” as the marketing folks at Pizza Hut would tell you.

Inside the downloadable package from Pizza Hut Canada, you’ll discover STL files and a PDF guide. Among these are the blueprints for components like the body, lid, and stand. The guide specifies the design is meant solely for consoles with a back vent of 11.7 x 1.31 inches. Your 3D printer will need a bed stretching at least 15 x 15 inches to handle the task, meaning some of the most popular 3D printers might not measure up unless you’re willing to segment the model. You might consider using a machine like the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max or a Prusa XL.

Pizza Hut also offers practical advice for keeping your pricey console safe from pizza mishaps like crumbs and grease. They recommend sliding a 34 x 23 x 2.5 cm foil tray in the warmer before use. Curiously, they opted for metric measurements here—perhaps a nod to Canadian norms. Their final tip: power up your console to initiate the warming, then nestle your pizza in. Medium pizza slices fit perfectly, they say.

In the world of fast food marketing, gimmicky combos with gaming aren’t entirely new. Back in 2020, KFC famously introduced the KFConsole with a drawer specifically for fried chicken—an idea born as a joke that evolved into a real Intel-powered mini-PC. So, it seems Pizza Hut is in good company with their creative leap into the gaming community.
