Perfecting Robby the Robot's Sax Valves

I was just about to install the Sax Valves (Why aren't they called Sax Key Rests?) on my Robby when I went back and looked at some photos. I decided to recreate my own version to more closely match the original.
The files for this (and other) projects are on my OneDrive at: onedrive.live....

Awesomeness

Hi, sax player here. The valve is really the whole unit, but thinking of a valve as something that opens and closes (think more in terms of a heart valve than a faucet), I would say the actual valve action occurs at the point where what you call the "key" meets what you call the "rest" for the key. This is where the on/off function of a valve action occurs. Love your videos, and love Robby.

Finally, some clarity! Thank you

Thanks for sharing your onedrive

Everything sounds Great Mike ! And I'm glad you have such great OCD to make sure all your parts are up to snuff 👍Filleted edges on the Sax Domes would be correct since most of Robby's parts were vacu-formed over bucks to create the parts. Even removing the end domes that are half spheres reveal Robby's original plastic color which shows thru those pieces.

Thanks! I think from a few feet away no one will ever notice, but I'd like to try and get as close as possible.

The shape reminds me a lot of the base of the small levers from the 1963 Tardis console in Doctor Who. ^^

Talk about exacting work, this level of detail is staggering. Would it be possible to pm you with questions?

Go for it!
