You have a lot of internal cavities which a mold will probably not handle.  Will it be formed and then machined out?

That is something you should have considered right from the start.

This object needs to be designed completely differently in order to be made from carbon fiber, or really any sensible available manufacturing method other than perhaps 3D printing.

most likely a 3d printed mold preferably as its cheapest, i really wanted to take a dive into molding carbon fiber.

With the complex shape it might be cheaper but one heck of a lot more labor intensive than 3D printing.
