Pizza Hut Canada launched the PIZZAWRMR device, which is a 3D-printed accessory that is specifically designed to keep pizza lives warm using the heat exhaust from the Sony PlayStation 5. The chain has made the files available for free to anyone who has a 3D printer and wants to warm up their pizza while they are gaming.
It covers the console's exhaust which can lead to overheating so caution is advised. It is also advised to use a foil tray inside of the warmer so that the food is safe along with heat-resistant materials as a part of the printing process. The design also nods to Pizza Hut and its branding aesthetics as the red roof is referenced.
