My quick design for a open bottom gadget works pretty well.  The scans I am getting are very consistent as long as I don’t move the device.  It holds the scanning distance to a constant and I know I won’t smear the sensor with a slight bump.

 

I printed this gadget with white ABS plastic.  The provided cup is really interesting to look at, there is a reflective surface on the sides and white? on the bottom.  This surface looks very golden to me but polished copper could look very similar.  What is it?

 

There is a paint that will dry to very close the reflectiveness of either gold or silver.  My other option would be to use aluminum foil to coat the inside.

 

Any advice?
