How would you model this?

Hello,

So I've been using solidworks for a few years and recently built myself an fdm printer.

I want to start modelling little more "arty"  stuff in solidworks a bit like this.

Is Solidworks really not the program for it? Something is telling me T-splines in rhino would be ideal but the though of learning two new software is really off putting.

If not how would you go about modelling something like this?

Thanks in advance for the advice!
