The sintered part does not have to be as thick as a slice of bread. The optimum thickness would have to be determined through experimentation, but I'd imagine it would only be somewhere around a few milimeters. Perhaps omitting the baseplate and opting just to plate up the bottom of the sintered part until its sealed would be more effective. Sintering manufacturers make the parts in any number of form factors and I'd bet having one side of the part a solid cast is an option. That kind of eliminates the prospect of using an existing form, such as the disks employed as filters though.
