    “It would be” so you haven’t done this but speak confidently about it being cheap and accessible?

      You can purchase laser pointers with grid diffraction grating right now with zero effort to DIY.

      You can purchase house decoration style diffraction gratings which are a larger format but are intensely bright. They are however less portable.

      You can follow a thought emporiums instructions on how to create diffraction gratings, which includes the software and the process,

      And yes, I already own a 300 milliwatt laser with a diffraction pattern that would work for this.
