Fairly new to Onshape. I am printing on a Creality K1 Max printer with a couple projects successfully completed.
I need to design a shift boot, which will seal a airplane nose wheel steering rod where it goes through the firewall. The rod is a 10 mm diameter rod, and passes through a 14 mm X 60 mm vertical slot (because of the nose wheel up and down movement during takeoff and landing. I will use TPU filament because of its pliability.
What is an easy method to produce the flexing sides of the part??

Draw a squigly line.
Sweep it around an elipse or oval or something to make a surface.
Thicken.
