Going to try to get the sides tapered in as best as possible with the top. The corners between the sides and top are sloped, but not completly rounded. The transition between the roof to kammback should be nearly seamless. 15* was the magic number I was looking for, thanks!

Want to mock up a carboard and duct tape demo to do tuft testing. My final goal is to have a metal kammback. Affixed or detachable, doesn't matter much.
