Forgive me if I'm talking rubbish here but I'm basing this on 40 year-old O-level knowledge, which I'm not even sure I understood properly at the time!
Does the Faraday shield have to be solid? Would it not work just as well made from a tight mesh like this?
It would be easier to work into complex shapes and help with any cooling problems. You could perhaps have a solid base, strong enough to carry the coils with a mesh housing surrounding the coils themselves.
