This is my first attempt to build a 3D printer enclosure for my Prusa i3 MK3S. I used 0.060" (~1.5mm) 2'x2' (~610mm x 610mm) sheets of polycarbonate since I already had them from another project, but the polycarbonate is definitely not thick enough to support itself without a lot of stiffening brackets. I'd recommend 3mm or thicker if you replicate this.
To build a complete box, you need a minimum of 8 corner brackets and 4 hinge brackets for two hinges, along with 5 panels of polycarbonate. Depending on how rigid your plastic is, you can add side brackets to the center of each side segment (5 possible locations for these), and stiffeners to stiffen a local area (I used 3, but you might not need any if you use thicker plastic). You can also optionally use 4x of the feet (the 3MF includes 4x of them in one) if you like them. I used them to raise the box a bit to allow for cable entry under the box, but you could also use them to hold rubber feet so the box doesn't slide around on you
