Thick sheet - how thick?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently building a Prusa Mendel at the moment and got to the part where I needed a bottom print plate. Using the recommendations here (http://reprap.org/wiki/Mendel_materials_procurement#Thick_Sheet) I cut MDF 4.7mm thick. I then got to the step where needed to attach the timing belt to the plate and noticed it said:

A 10mm thick print bottom plate is spot on

Damn.

might I suggest that the bill of materials where the bottom plate dimensions are listed that we include the recommended width? also it would probably be less misleading if we removed the width from the Mendel materials procurement page as well.

Just a friendly suggestion.
