That's what I do.
If the 1st layer doesn't look "squished" or hasn't stuck properly, I adjust the bed.

Thanks! I hope I don't have to do it soon, since I only got the machine last Friday...

Thanks for the tip!

between a cold bed and a hot bed and every temperature in-between.

Does the Di Vinci bed just warp that much?

Is that typical of most 3D printers or does bed material fix this.

Do home and jog the z down until you can move the head. Then move the head manually and check if the distance it's the same at 3-4 corners. I use to do a fast calibration this way if I know that the previous print was fine and I didnt had to move too much the bed to remove the previous print.
