Hi Guys, first time playing with CF.
I am a designer and 3d printing enthusiast.

Im going to have a crack skinning the inside of these prototype velocity stacks that are going to live on a sprint car.
Obviously this is a fiddly curvature, I was thinking for layup I should approach it in 3 or 4 pie sections with the 2x2 twill I've got here. 
I was just assuming any less than 3 fabric sections per layer and it would start trashing the weave etc. 

Thoughts? (just one stack at a time not as a whole)

2" base dia  4.5" across the top.

Thanks in advance for any replies !

Sometimes I see what I want to see... the mentioning of a sprint car should have make it obvious. High end audio is a very hot topic for me.
My experiences in this field should help you anyways.
If you are planning to use the prints as a mould, you should definitely use a negative. Because than you only have to deal with one clear cutted edge per cloth. And then, place them this way:
