  1. So, I have one unique but dirty solution. I do not see it anywhere else so I will put it here. It seems that this issue is brought up by Cura ignoring the origins set in STL and putting the geo center as the origin. The solution goes as following: 1. In your CAD software, mirror your model using the z axis as your axis of symmetry (you can do it simply by rotating it 180 degree). 2. Export it as STL. 3. Import it in Cura, and you will find that the (0,0,0) is the same as the one in your CAD design. It is because the origin in your model is exactly the geo center. 4. In Cura, use mesh tools -> split models into parts 5. Delete the unwanted mirrored part. Done! This is the simplest solution I can think of by far. It has certain limits but with some modification it can be used in most situations. If you simply want to keep the relative positions of your parts, just use "merge models" as others mentioned. But unlike the method I mentioned above, the origin would change.
