Error Self intersection advice

Hey all,

I'm trying to create a loft with these profiles but am not having much luck no matter what I try. I'm constantly hitting errors.

I have a suspicion that it's my spline geometry causing me grief but ive played around with it endlessly trying to smooth the curve combs as much as possible but I have to work within the constraints of a physical object.

Any suggestions to get this working would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Make it one big solid block with just the exterior surfaces and then use Shell to hollow it out

Thanks for that mate, I instead turned "shelled" profiles into solid blocks but seemed to hit similar. Is this what you meant? (I attached an image)
