Looking for help with snapping

Hello, I have some time over Christmas break and learning S3D I have watched the youtube videos and read many posts in here. I have also used the search function too. My question is can I snap pieced stls together? I built my own printer and have a 24"x"24"24" or 600mmx600mmx600mm. Some larger prints some my family would like done come in small cut up stls and I would like to merge them all together. Is it possible? or can it be done another way?

I use the Edit > Align Selected Model Origins option. It works as long as the parts were modeled using the same coordinate system in your CAD package

I would suggest doing this in meshmixer or another software, to make sure that the parts are actually getting snapped together. you will have a better control in the design s/w
