How to get a semicircular gutter bent?

How do you get hold of this? Or how does a sheet metal worker make one?

Many stumpar? A somewhat half-serious suggestion...

Many short pieces that are folded together, and it becomes like this:

You can have it rolled by a reputable tinsmith. Faceted last-minute solutions are not very attractive.
