Before going away from Blender, did you try doing a remesh in the sculpt mode using a very small voxel size on the combined object? Remeshes are really good at eliminating a lot of errors, but can take a while at small voxel sizes for large objects.

Another package to check out if you don't want to continually shell money to Autodesk is Alibre. It doesn't do STL import, but it is far easier to use than FreeCAD, and at only $150 (sale price) for the base modeler is a heck of a bargain for a perpetual license. The array options might make recreating your part relatively simple - I don't know. It has a free trial option, and is very close to SolidWorks in operation.
