First, you need to work at a larger scale. I scaled your model up by a factor of 100.

I used Eneroth’s Upright Extruder but you could also do it with Fredo’s Curviloft. I would suggest moving the helical path to the center of the end profiles first.

Since all four are really identical, I made one and then used Rotate?Copy to place the other three.

You might take a look at Spirix. I used it to make this:
