With Blender does is have to be a single object? Or can I create the cog, then add the framework.]]> gomi 2010-05-15T09:57:03-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12984&th=2557#msg_12984
There is a lot more info available on the tutorials page.

Take a look under "Advanced tutorials: mechanical parts & designing for 3D printing"

You can also get a feel for it by looking at a few models from the 3D parts database.
