Although making a rigid structure from polycarbonate might make it weigh more than making it from aluminum. If you need a rigid structure.

Thanks for the helpful answer and the even more helpful advice. If using aluminum makes it lighter then I'll use it. I just rather not modify the aluminum materials for my design but if it makes a difference then I'll do it. Going to get out a scale and weight materials now.
