loft curve

[jedandva12]

Hi guys, i have an loft question. I'm trying to replicate this curve on the photo. 

I have to use a loft function to complete my shape. 

What I've tried using two rectangles let's say they are 100x20mm. On the second rectangle I use a 3d sketch to make a curve, but then my sketch isn't recognized as a face. 

Can someone share their own opinion on how they would  draw this ?

Hi,

Please show pictures with complementary hand sketches of what you want to end up with and share the file.

Loft sketch 1-2 

try to recreate the slight bend on right like shown on real life item on picture

Hi,

Please show pictures from other perspectives.

I need this curve, I have to use profiles because I want lofted shape. My shape won't be square like in real life.

As you can see it's hollow. I will use profile sketches and loft function to get the shape, then i will shell it. But I  dont know how to create the curve.

-Forget about the tapered shape. 

-I cant cut the shape from a block, because I need the lofted shape that will transition into a pipe at the end. Lofted shape- so fluid flows nicely.

Hi,

Please show the whole part from different angles.

Hi,

maybe you can do something with it

Preferably with the keep tangent edges option enabled (loft dialogue)!!!

I did play with loft setting curvature and tangent,  i get the clearance, it ends up rounded. but I cant replicate this factory curve. Now  I've cutted the part in two, have to figure out how to make some kind of click clack joint. I plan to 3d print it in 2 parts. 

My first part failed the geometry was a bit to aggressive.
