Pod Cover & Spoolbox Acryclic Window Thickness Size?

Question regarding the acrylic window panes for the pod cover and Spoolbox.spoolbox.

I was wondering what thickness I want to use. I could not find anything where it stated the thickness of the acrylic pieces should be. I was also looking at some online services here in the USA that I could have printed/cut them for me. But I need to provide the desired thickness of the sheets. So if you could let me know what I need to request or look to purchase, I would greatly appreciate it.


One place I am looking at has the following options:

0.063"

0.214" (5.4 mm)

0.375" (9.5mm)

0.500" (12.7 mm)


My guess is 1.6 mm or 3.0 mm, if I had to guess, but again, I do not know.

I've been using 1mm acrylic sheets and cut them myself. Just need straight cuts, no need for curves. I have a simple acrylic cutter knife (~$5) and the sheets cost me about $10. For the spoolbox, you may want to spray or brush some sealant on the insides before you glue the acrylic. It helps with keeping the moisture out.
