Guys, do you think a 3 mm aluminum plate is thick enough for a 200x200 heated bed for a Cartesian Prusa mk2 type printer? The bed may have a silicone heater or a mk2b 2mm aluminum heater below and a magnetic base on top.

The thicker the better but it should work fine especially if you have some kind of probing for the bed surface.
