I would suggest Repables (http://www.repables.com) - primarily because
it's in no way associated with TakerBot.
I think though, that it is well worth the efforts to
learn something like
Blender (
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Modeling/PrintT…).
Plus you can actually do everything from the command line in python (I do
everything with it these days) if you want. Gears of any size, including
worm gears? There's a script for that. In fact, I'm about to go and talk
and demo precisely that at Wake Forest University in a few hours.
I wouldn't recommend Blender for use as a CAD tool unless I really hated
the person I was recommending it to. :)
