Light Switch
Here is a part that everyone is familiar with. It is a Multi-body Part that has a some sheet metal features and two surface sweeps in it. It is mainly created with extruded features but does have some revolves sprinkled in. Other features in the light switch part include: a lofted cut, combines, solid and surface sweeps, edge flanges, axis, move/copy body, and two circular patterns. There is a unique example of a helical sweep for the internal spring that does not use a standard helical curve to create it. An "intersection curve" is used to create a 3D sketch for the sweep path similar to how a projected curve works.
