I'm really struggling to find a working application that will cut my larger model into smaller pieces with connectors. I've used slicer and it works good to split the object, but I really need something with connectors. Any suggestions?

there are several openscad scripts that will do just that.
This is not just for creating puzzles: http://www.3ders.org/articles/201301...-printing.html
Try that.
Never used it. But connectors are easy enough to add in openscad.
You could just use cylinders and holes for cylinders.
I find that on my system a 0.5mm difference gives a decent join with glue.
create a cylinder.
Add it to one part and then at the same place on a different part, difference a cylinder with 0.5m larger diameter.
Probably only needs to be about 10mm long.
Getting a precise match up is dead easy in openscad.
What i would suggest is that you design a few simple things first. You need to get into the right mindset for openscad. Once you've got the basics, you'll see how easy this kind of thing really is :-)
