Your process determines your minimum thickness. 1mm is plenty if laser cut. Blunt jigsaw blades would create stresses which become cracks later, even with light impacts.
My teammate made mine at the start of 2013 and mine is still ok. I think it was blade-cut using CNC but the durability varies between batches.
