Amazon has a DaVinci Calibration app that works very good actually. You run the calibration process and get three sets of numbers. Enter those into app and it tells you the number of turns to make on platform nuts.

It gets you in the ball park but the numbers that the Da Vince considers as pass are too high. Also it wont work for those ehom have flashed and I believe the OP has flashed.

The proper first layer height is supposed to be exactly half of your desired layer height. That is why one magic number like the Da vinci looks for does not work.

oh okay, will there be a possibility of the new glass warping due to the old warped glass? or will everything be alright for the remainder of its life?

The new glass is three time thicker than the old glass. The old glass will have very little to no impact on the new glass.

oh okay, so when I receive the new glass on the 21st, I unscrew the screws and just place the glass on top of the old one and secure it in place so that should make my bed flat and solve my leveling problems right? Also will it affect how hot the glass gets?, like, will there be any temperature offset from the heater to the top of the glass since there is more glass for the heat to go through? Thanks

It will still reach the same temps as the old, it will just take a little bit longer. it takes mine about 7 minutes to reach 90. Glass has a very high thermal transfer coefficient so there will be no real offset.

Okay, I just bought new glass, why cant I just take off the old glass and put in the new one to replace it instead of putting it on top of the old glass?

The heater is an adhesive sheet that is glued to the stock glass. There is no way to remove it without destroying it. So unless you plan to replace the heater as well, you put the new glass on top of the old.

I found this on ebay, will this work?

It would but you will loose 10mm on one axis as the stock bed is 210 by 210. So you would loose 5mm on the right and left of the X axis. Are you sure there are no glass or mirror shops near you? I live in the Dallas area myself and a yellow pages search shows more than 10 within 20 miles. 3 are within 5 miles. Most of them will do business over the Internet and ship the glass to you once finished and paid for.

My old 3DStuffmaker had an aluminum bed and I had no issues. For abs you will still need glass or tape on it. ABS will not stick to bare aluminum.

thanks carl, I'm pretty sure its the bed that's warped because I can see that it has a bit of an arch to it when I put a ruler on it. So if getting new glass will fix the problem, how would I replace it and do you think home depot will have the glass, thanks

Home depot only handles regular plate glass. You need tempered so you will need to go to a real glass shop.

You wont replace the glass, you will simply put the new glass on top of the stock glass. As I said the existing screws have more than enough thread to mount the new glass under the existing clips.
