Is it possible to make a self-intersecting sweep?Who knows what tools can be used to do such work.

Do the sweep in sections that don't self intersect the section being created. and merge them together as you create them.
Since this is a flat-ish part, you could just use the Extrude thin. Then add some fillets or chamfers to handle the edges.

You saw the number 4. It intersects everywhere.
This was quite a bit of a pain to get to work. Looks like extrude thin couldn't handle it. Neither could draft, or body draft, or sweep, or offsets, or move face, move boundary, ruled surface… Using a standard extrude, thicken, and fillet, seemed to do ok:

Render studio also seems to have improved its intuitive-ness. Thanks Onshape team! 😎
