It seems typical fake news that some manufacturers launch in a satirical tone for April Fool’s Day, but it is not like that, it is not a joke: the famous fast food chain Pizza Hut has created PIZZAWRMR (pizza warmer, pizza warmer), an accessory for the PS5 that takes advantage of the heat emitted by the console to… yes, to keep the pizza warm.
The PlayStation 5 has been and continues to be a controversial console in every sense: its performance has been questioned (of course), its enormous size has been criticized, there has been a lot of talk about the liquid metal of its processor that caused problems (supposedly ) if you put the console vertically, and a long etcetera, but many of the console’s features have also been praised. Now, what we will all agree on is that the PS5 gets quite hot.
Taking advantage of the heat of the PS5 for something useful
The design of PIZZAWRMR is inspired by the red roof of the logo of this fast food chain. The lid opens in the style of a laptop to comfortably access the slices of pizza housed inside, and according to the manufacturer, several slices fit in the upper box to keep them warm, as we said, taking advantage of the heat generated by the console. Sony.
In reality, as you may have already guessed, Pizza Hut is not going to sell this accessory for the PS5. On the contrary, it has made the 3D design for free (the only thing they ask you is to register), so if you have a 3D printer you can download the design and print it yourself to use on your own console, and you will only spend the money that the material you use for it costs. You have the link to download it, as well as all the information about it, at the bottom of this article.
The file you will download includes STL files and a guide in PDF format so you can properly configure your 3D printer for this project. You’ll find files for the body, stand, lid, manifold, and attachments to the PS5, and according to the guide the design as provided is designed specifically for the regular PS5, the one with the hot air outlet on the back. back part.
You must keep in mind, however, that you will not be able to use any printer to print this piece, since due to its dimensions it requires a bed of at least 15 x 15 inches (38.1 x 38.1 centimeters), so the printer should be quite large (unless you edit the 3D files to cut the pieces and then make them fit). Some models that should be compatible with this pizza warmer for the PS5 would be the Elegoo Neptune 4 Maxthe Prusa XL wave Elegoo Orange Storm Gigaprinters with quite considerable dimensions.
What do you think of this Pizza Hut initiative? The truth is that we found it curious to say the least, which is why we have shared it with you. Oh, by the way, watch out for pizza residue and the grease it releases, which could damage your console. The “manufacturer” recommends using an aluminum tray inside to avoid possible problems.
