Also, what materials did you use, specifically for the top faceplate?

The laptop is just held on to the base plate by industrial velcro. We had a few times last year where our driver's station got knocked off of the shelf but never lost communication. Otherwise I believe it has enough space around it to shift if such an extreme impact occurs.
The base is made of angle aluminum with aluminum stand offs holding the Sintra face plate on that we CNC routed out.
