That would be pretty difficult. Probably the easiest way to get a good solid for your case here is to build it out of 2 halves so that each piece only intersects the other and not itself. Then they can be combined with boolean union.

Here's what that looks like, also see attached 3DM file where the boolean difference should work now:

That method works.

Selection of profile is important.

Self intersecting Bad.

Thank-you.
