Buugeng – 3D Printed by Flow DNA

Description

Introducing the next generation of Buugeng. Flow DNA’s original Flowgeng design now made of a all new, locally made material. A revolutionary update that reduces costs, and increases durability, while retaining the iconic design and mesmerizing optical illusions of our Flowgeng. This updated version is now meticulously 3D printed with cutting-edge SBS filament, developed right here in Cape Town by Fil X. This leap in material science brings the same advanced properties and design philosophy found in our One Piece Mojura Fans to your S-Staff/Buugeng play.

Engineered for Unmatched Flow and Resilience: Our new Buugeng harnesses the exceptional characteristics of SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) filament. This isn’t just an upgrade. It’s a transformation. SBS delivers a unique blend of superior flexibility, incredible impact resistance, and lightweight resilience, offering a responsive, semi-flexible feel that maintains its structural integrity through endless spins and drops. Say goodbye to the concerns of chipping or breaking; these Flowgeng are built to endure, stretching and flexing with your every movement.

How do 3D printed Buugeng compare to our Wooden Flowgeng:

• Revolutionary SBS Construction: Tough yet flexible, absorbing shocks and resisting wear, so they’re more durable than wood, and waterproof.
• Lightweight & Agile: The inherent lightness of SBS filament makes these Buugeng ideal for intricate finger twirling and extended sessions, reducing fatigue while enhancing your ability to execute complex 2-in-1-hand or 4-geng manipulations.
• Non-Fading & Maintenance-Friendly: The high-grade SBS material boasts non-fading vibrant colors that won’t chip like painted wood does.
• Embedded Magnets: The magnets are inside the plastic instead of being glued in, so there’s no way that they can fall out.
• More affordable: While we all love the feel of finely a polished wood finish, but 3D printing has significantly less labour costs, and the result is almost as smooth.
• Now available in Glow-In-The-Dark! Nuff said.
• Locally Developed & Sustainable: Proudly made in Cape Town with Fil X SBS filament, these Buugeng support local innovation and are recyclable (code-6).

Now Presenting Contactgeng!

Buugeng designed for contact that we’ve been developing and perfecting since 2019. There is more hook to the curve, so it can be used to slide on your arms and body for a whole new world of manipulation tech.

FEATURES:

• Can be connected in different configurations, or collapsed for transport.
• Flowgeng are connected with 3 magnets in the handle of each piece, allowing them to be separated for more interesting configurations and explorations.
• Contactgeng have 2 magnets and a hinge in the middle of each handle. The hinge prevents the pieces from falling apart when you drop them with your enthusiastic contact tricks.
• Every curve and balance point has been refined for smooth rotations, precise control, and a comfortable, ergonomic grip that encourages effortless sliding and manipulation.
• Lightweight for easy finger twirling.
• Designed to be suitable for 4-geng manipulations (2 in each hand).
• The lattice cut-out design creates trails of concentric circles as you spin them for mesmerising optical illusions, and they provide opportunities for hooks, catches, and other experimental techniques.
• Made from highly durable SBS plastic.

TECH SPECS:

• Length in S-Shape configuration:
• – Flowgeng: 83cm- Contactgeng: 88cm
• Length in collapsed configuration:- Flowgeng: 48cm- Contactgeng: 50cm
• Thickness: 9.5mm (3/8″)
• Weight:

• Material: SBS by Fli X

Note: SBS can start softening and warping when they’re subjected to temperatures over 70°C (158°F) for extended periods. It also dissolves in D-Limonene and other aromatic solvents, so try to avoid peeling your oranges on top of them.
