Looks bloody good from here, considering it came from my sketch a few posts up! Done a great job getting the idea into fusion and printed!
An alternative may be butter.
How are you going to remove the form, looks like it has undercuts - burning out might be an option I guess?
Blimey, good luck with that!Tentative plan to "grease up" the PLA former and wind it out of the clay.
Blimey, good luck with that!
Good idea, this'll do.

If you could manage without the element groove being lipped, with a bit of thought, you could make the internal former in sections that could be withdrawn internally.
Just a silly idea as you've gone to all the trouble, but what about making a former to hold a piece of spiral nylon hose in place?
When the clay (?) has set unscrew the former and then take to hose out.
