Also... Put a straightedge/level to the bed. If the bed is warped it will be immediately obvious. I'm just speculating, but if your rods were that bent I don't think the X axis would move past the bend, because both rods won't be bent identically.

I don't know how feasible it is on a davinci, but you could test this by loosening and rotating your x rods 180 degrees. If they are warped, you should now be high in the middle.

Okay, i recently bought new glass thinking that it was warped but that didnt fix the problem. My problem is that the edges of the bed are perfectly level but when i move the extruder to the middle of thebed, it hits/touches it. Is there a way to fix it or something? Or am do I have bent axis rods and is it possible to fix it? Thanks

If it is still looking warped after adding the 3mm tempered then your x rods could be warped. The best you can do is find the point for the high spot, and the point for the low and set your z offset in between.

Or try to find some new rods.
