Re: Steel

0.5mm steel= cheap as chips. got a whole sheet of it lying around. 1mm polycarbonate is far superior though

Re: Steel

yeah steel isn't ideal as its just too heavy if you go any thicker than 1mm ish. Spring Steel is similar but slightly lighter and more robust, also as the title suggests, its springy so it absorbs some of the impact, take Johnnys advice and get some polycarbonate, or if you need a metal get titainium or spring steel, and avoid aluminium+steel
