I think you get there with a couple more practice attempts.

This is a fun project, for sure. Laser cutting, 3D printing, and other modern manufacturing...

Should be a learning experience for all of us!
Once I have the shield-stub in hand and get precise dimensions, I should be able to scaled off of pictures on the internet for the flared end.
