The problem#

[WHAT WAS HARD TO SEE WITH THE OLD LIGHTING, e.g. glare on shiny or curved parts]

What I built#

A dome that sits over the part and spreads light evenly from all sides, so the camera sees the surface without hard reflections. It is 3D printed, so the size and mounting can be changed for each station.
