Not impossible to make, except maybe for the finer details.

Interesting design. Ribbed fins are indeed an improvement.

The weak point in this design (if you are open to it) is in the flow geometry. As it stands, I would expect a bit more performance than early generation DangerDen Maze blocks.

There's potential here, if you can improve the flow. Maybe cut the top rib, and look into putting in a jet inlet; the backwash can flow upwards through the ribbed fins.
