- What kind of material should I use that can have a 5K resistance for a 3-4 inch length?
I need to make a custom potentiometer that will be like a ring that goes onto a shaft. The shaft is about 1 inch in diameter. I couldn't find anything like that online so I have no choice but to make one.
My idea is to print a plastic ring that I can glue a circular resistive material into. Since the shaft is about 1 inch in diameter the length of the wire will have to be greater than the circumference (3.5 to 4 inches about).
So to summarize things, what kind of material should I use that can have a 5K resistance for a 3-4 inch length?
Thanks in advance
