Best way to model this part?


schemer

Ok, on my switch project I was getting along fine and thought I could make the whole thing without asking for help. But, although I can easily make this spacer without the splines in the form of cones or straight cylinder shapes using the revolve tool and it will likely work fine, I was wondering how I could make it look like the original. I have added a pic of the spacer and would like to know the best approach or steps to make this odd piece that will be 3D printed likely with supports. I just need a little guidance. :)

I am thinking make and extrude the circle in the center then add a sketch shaped like a plus sign and extrude it for the left side. Then add another sketch for the right side but it has a step there, so make the short section and add yet another sketch to finish the right side?

Thanks in advance!
