        This is more suited to a NURBS environment rather than SketchUp because you are lookiing to create variable fillets.

        ToolOnSurface Offset tool will help you out to a degree to get some type profiles you could loft. But there's no magic bullet.

            It is possible to model fillets with changing radii in SketchUp. I do it fairly often using tools like TIG's Extrusion Tools or Fredo's Curviloft but Rich's suggestion and example is probably more straightforward.

              In the example file it's not as a clean and pre-planned as your good example.

              I think that it is doable but not on the file shared. Where the tube is intersecting the flat top face is a bit of a mess. The tube geometry has a few probably unintentional edges.

              You can do this but you need to pre-plan the profiles to get the nice results Dave does in his sleep.

                thanks for your time guys, instead of a radius I went with a chamfer, pulled the tube through then scaled the end up. This would be fine, all be it a lot neater , but the profile would work

                  I tweaked it a bit more, its not 100% , but I think it could work

                    Well, it makes a solid component so it should be printable. How tall is the final thing supposed to be?
