I think if the print is smaller than a certain size it scales it up by that amount. which is usually too much. But I suspect your print's are in being saved into STL files in inches but Cura is expecting mm. Try scaling the parts up by 2540% or instead when you go to save the STL there should be an option somewhere to set the units to mm.
By the way I think it's 100X (not 10000X). I think its 10000% (which is 100X). I'm not certain.
There's also an option in Cura Preferences to disable this feature but then your part may be too small to see.
