Let just say it needed a lot of reinforcement to be wearable.

And not all armor made from ABS or of the good thickness. Back in the days, many Armor are Styrene but as more people became troopers, ABS became the choice due to its durability.

And here and there, there're still whole Trooper Armors being made from Sintra.

That is why most of us rely on word of mouth or recommendation on where to get our armor and parts.

As Haldir pointed out, there're varying thickness of ABS and styrene. My AT-AT Driver chestbox was vac-formed from styrene. Although the box looks sharp from the exterior, it actually is 'thin/flimsy' all around. I had to reinforce it from the inside with pieces of styrene and wood.
