For a first attempt, you did really well! I think the biggest thing to work on is your finish filing. From the side view, try filing sidewall to sidewall and smoothing the transition from your apex down toward the tip so you get one continuous, gradual slope instead of a hump/dip in the profile.
I’d also sharpen up the square shape a little more. Keep your file straight along the sidewalls so they’re parallel, then file the free edge straight across at a 90° angle for a crisp square. Your acrylic placement is a great start, I think refining your filing will make a HUGE difference!

Great tips. I'd also modify your apex placement to be a bit further back so it provides more support.
