Perhaps wrong catagory, but how thin can you make the walls for each type of aluminum? Such as 6061

Keep in mind that these guidelines depend on where the thin part is and what’s around it. Typically for strength you’d add another 25% on top of those minimum values - you only need to go that thin if you’re going after something extreme in your design.
