  I need this same relief mirrored; was wondering how to deal with the origin, bottom-left corner."

  To mirror the toolpaths, select the Project tree's Toolpaths item, followed by Transform Toolpaths displayed below the Project panel's splitter bar.

  Specify your required mirror direction and location, then voila.

  If it's the relief you want mirrored, use the Edit > Mirror menu option, then re-calculate your toolpaths. For the origin position, if change is required, use the Model > Set Position menu option.

  You may also use the Relief Cookie Cutter tool on the whole relief; when the relief is blue to indicate it's floating, select the Edit > Mirror menu option, position the floating relief as required, paste the floating relief, then re-calculate your toolpaths.
