3D printed Mould on Glass surface - Resin Infusion

Hello,

I am working with resin infusion using this 3d print as a mould on a glass surface



This side looks fine:



My goal is to have a flat surface with a cavity but my 3D print is trapped within resin in the carbon fabric and I can't remove it. See below:



Any ideas how to avoid this or how to proceed? Possibly how to make the 3D print and the glass as ''one'' body before the infusion? Thank you

I am considering 3D printing the negative of the whole shape I would like to get as one body, something like this above. Would that work? If yes, do I need to put the inlet and outlet hoses on the 3d printed part or if I will work on a glass surface the hoses can also be placed on the glass? thanks for the responses.
