6mm is not thick enough for this projector.

I would fix it to Ally angle on all sides and a couple of braces arcoss the middle to give it a bit of support... It might flex when things start getting warm in there..

it will be supported by steel on two sides.
also laserwave modules dont need a alum heat sink and therefore shouldnt get hot

Hi Andy!
Thx for that tip for tripod.
What are expected dimensions of this unit?
..and good luck?
( I have never build the laser but I work with alu every day and 6mm...?!@#!)
amazing build mate
i think everyone is being a bit harsh with what they are saying here. its you thats building it and if you feel it will be satisfactory then fair play to you. enjoy the build but i bet you wish you could keep it
keep pics coming cause i cant wait to see this.
cheers
not worked out the final size yet as im reducing the size of the plates slightly.
maybe the plates ive got arent top quality alum as they are 100% solid. there is no bending or flexing when i add alot of weight.
also once in the case, the plates will be supported. the lasers will all be in a line and supported underneath by steel.
im very greatful for everyones input and help but there isnt any flexing issues.

I have dibbs on the lasers if they are dead!

Base needs to be thicker!! For our latest RGB, which will be about 7-8w when done, we are using 16mm plate, although we will loose a mm or so, machining the surface flat..
