Sweep using 3D Sketches fails on saving

I am endeavouring to create a sweep profile that enables the creation of a 3D model that I can subsequently slice and 3D print without overhangs. My part is too small to allow the slicing software to add supports.
The sweep option readily creates a model that looks useable but repeatedly fails when I try to save it.
I have checked every aspect of my part creation.
Using a rail as a guide, a 360-degree profile rather than the complete loop is generated that can be saved. If I use the surface on which my 3D sketch is created as the guide, it produces the part I require as per the image but fails upon saving
Does anyone have experience using 3D sketches that can offer advice?
The part is commercially sensitive.
Thank you.

I have managed to overcome the problem by chopping the 3D Sketch up into 360-degree loops. It is not ideal, but I must assume from the lack of replies I am venturing into an are unfamiliar to many.
