Finger Potentiometer by deltamodulator

This thing is a music controller in the sense that it forms a variable resistor that is adjustable by finger touch when printed with Proto-pasta conductive filament. Being spiral in nature, the thing bends when lateral pressure is applied which changes the electrical resistance between the terminals.
I like this thing as it is, yet really when you think of it, just about any shape can serve as a resistor if printed with conductive filament. Geometric shapes come to mind, as do ornamental and organic shapes. Imagine the "potential"!
I have chosen to accept the default license for this item which allows commercial use freely, so have at it if you need it for biz. i would appreciate if you do find a use for it in the biz world or in hobby world or whatever you do with it, please comment and/or post a make. This keeps me motivated to create more cool stuff! Thanks a bunch in advance...
