What machine did you use to print the one in the picture? Not quite makerbotable, I just ended up with a solid cylinder. Have you ever used openscad? A parametric file would be handy so you could have different sized shaft openings.
I modeled it in Solidworks and printed it on a Dimension SST1200ES. It's a soluble support machine, so overhangs are not an issue.
I would post pictures, but the license you chose doesn't allow me to "I made one".
I'm giving it a 2nd shot, it seems like the key to printing these gaps on a makerbot is to have it laying down on the bed.
