Wrapping a ribbon on a surface

Basically I want to generate winding patterns for filament winidng somthing like this Filament Winder

The video shows filament being wound onto a cylindrical mandrel.
I would like to do so on a conical mandrel.

However I would first like to generate the winding pattern in grasshopper and then export the data for manufacturing to a CNC.

I guess wrapping a ribbon is possible in grasshopper but I don’t know where to start.

Also I hear a lot about geodesic winding related to filament winding.
Can a geodesic path be wound on to a 3d mandrel.
Can someone provide hints in doing so That would possibly get me on my way.

Thanks in Advance.
