*The moderator @rob completely hit the nail on the head and read my mind with their interpretation of this post. I assume this is because they have been in my shoes before, so they understand my perspective, and because of the sheer amount of clear and extensive experience they have in physics. You can see their interpretation here.
*This question is similar to: Is a DIY neutrino detector feasible?. The difference between my question, and the old one is that the question is from over 8 years ago. Naturally, some of the answers are outdated and the links to materials they provide are all expired. Additionally, we now have neutrino detectors the size of milk jugs, so now a DIY Neutrino Detector is much more feasible than the answers in the older question indicated. Given this, I ask my questions because I want to know how feasible it is today, and what is required to make it.
*This question is quite broad and I do apologize for that (I am working on making separate questions, don’t worry), but I don’t know much about the subject to ask very specific, and for lack of a better word, better questions. So if you see this question and have any level of knowledge on the question for you to be able to edit the questions to make them more specific, by all means please feel free to do so. I also want to mention that I am looking for something more along the lines of general advice rather than specifically engineering questions. Especially since the questions I am asking are mostly only going to be able to be answered by a physicist, rather than an engineer.
*Now for the pricing questions, they serve as order of magnitude requests to give me an idea of how feasible this project that I am very passionate about is. It gives me an idea of how much money I am going to need to request, raise, and apply for grants for (I am a New York City high school student in a research program at my prestigious public high school, they put a lot of funding and money into us research students, but there are not many resources for those of us with a love for physics; which is why I have turned to the internet for answers to my questions; I hope this does not get taken as me asking for ‘illegal’ help for my research, I am genuinely curious about this stuff, and have been before I was accepted into the program, and I can’t find answers to any of my questions).

*miniTimeCube detector:
#1 Priority:
How does the COHERENT neutrino detector, neutrinos and CEvNS?
Why does (or maybe how does) the smallest neutrino detector (the COHERENT detector) work despite its incredibly small size?
What is used to detect CEvNS?
Considering that we now have neutrino detectors the size of milk jugs, how might one make their own neutrino detector?
#2 Priority:
What might you need if you had a large budget to make it? And what would you need if you had a limited budget?
Why might the smallest neutrino detector work despite its incredibly small size?
Are any of the supplies you might need to build your own neutrino detector be cheaper if you made them yourself?
What might a 'shopping list' for building your own neutrino detector look like?
