Choosing between 2mm, 3mm and 5mm comes down to one main question: how much strength does your project need? As a general rule, the thicker the sheet, the stronger and more rigid it is, but also heavier and slightly more expensive.
Here's a quick guide to help you pick the right one.
If the sheet will be fully supported and needs to look good, 2mm is usually enough. On the other hand, if it needs to stand up on its own or take a bit of weight, 3mm is the safer choice.
When you're working on a project that needs maximum rigidity, 5mm acrylic is the better choice. It provides extra strength for large unsupported areas and applications where durability matters.
