So there we go it's printing. Unfortunately, looks like I was a couple of layers too low, so there is a big seem visible. Even though I had prepared 3 files starting from layer 955 to 957, I could not really see the result until it had printed a few layer. Oh well, nevermind, a bit of sanding and carving with a blade should fix it. I'm still happy. I'll post a photo when it's done. Thanks for the help guys!

Yay!
Hell I don't know. I would slide piece of paper in there and see how tight it is. typical paper is .1mm (of course you can measure that with calipers). You want it to start .1mm above the existing print. So if with paper there is slight resistance sliding the paper when the bed is at 95.9 then print the 95.9 layer next.
There's no way you will get everything perfect. The bed has probably drooped - my bed seems to droop .1mm over the course of a day. Especially the front edge. There's going to be a tiny seam. Sorry. But less than if you printed fresh on the bed as we always get a little bit of that "elephants foot" on the first layer (because it can't shrink but the layers above shrink while cooling).
