It would be. While I'm designing the cases I generally default to using 3mm, as I shouldn't really ever need thicker than that regardless of if I'm using steel or aluminium, and so when I do work out which thinner metal to go for, I have tolerances already built in.


It's a bit of a process I've developed over designing various objects, rather than design as small as possible and just scale up for each piece you add in or tolerance you must factor in, work out the biggest it might possibly be, and slim it down as you learn more.


I do though still have to work out which metal and thickness to go for. Any advice there Aiboh?
