Revolve for a non-symmetrical end cap

I have a part that I need to put an end cap on. The face is round but the "revolve" is not the same radius.
What is the best way to achieve this. I want the end cap to follow the same line as the part below but maintain the 3mm wall thickness throughout.
TIA

Hey @adrian_blood,
It's not so clear to me what you are trying to achieve here, could you share your public document so people can have a look?
Maybe, you can just design your part as a solid body and then use the shell feature with 3mm wall thickness, is that what you need? Cheers
You can't revolve if the radius isn't constant. Try sweeping. Apply the wall thickness after this operation, that'll save you a lot of work.
This is a top down look. I want the smaller sphere to have the same arc as the larger sphere.
I'll give this a go! Thanks

I am trying to have the endcap follow the same profile as the arc below it.
