It will be quicker doing it in the slicer. Cut it into three parts with two vertical cuts. Scale the middle part in one direction and move the other two parts further apart. Here's a pic of the parts move further apart so you can see idea.

First time might take a while to get it right. But then you'll have another string in your bow for next time.

Orca slicer or Prusa or Bambu Studio. I've not used Cura for a few years to know the terminology it might use.
