About Space Buck

Space Buck made waves in the DIY sextech community by creating a Wi-Fi-enabled anal vibrator that buzzes based on Twitter interactions—basically turning social media engagement into physical sensation. Built for around $1 using off-the-shelf components, the project became a viral sensation and sparked conversations about how accessible sextech hacking could be. The project exemplifies the growing maker movement in sexual wellness technology, showing that you don’t need a massive R&D budget to experiment with connected pleasure devices. Space Buck’s approach to DIY sextech hacking demonstrated how everyday components like ESP8266 Wi-Fi chips and basic vibration motors could be repurposed for intimate applications. While it started as a tongue-in-cheek experiment, the project highlighted real questions about data privacy, consent, and the future of internet-connected intimacy devices.
