It’s a plastic sheet (Foamex) that will have 400 light fibres (4 different diameters) fed from an LED light engine. it is to give a ‘starry sky’ effect. The light engine has a revolving ‘twinkle’ wheel, and can move from white to any RGB mix. Programmed ripple effects etc. So no plan or grid...

Agree I will use in a Dremel rather than my battery drill

Found a solution ..... seems you can buy tungsten drills 0.1 to 1.0mm set in 1/8" diam shanks ... and they are cheap enough.
