I’ve found several tempature towers on thingyverse but wondering if there’s a way to import one with the gcodes that work with the Bambu Studio? Not sure how else to get the temp changes at the different levels.

There are lots on MarkerWorld

Orca slicer has a temp tower in their calibration menu. You can select whatever temperature range you want to test.

If you haven’t tried Orca Slicer you’re missing out on the calibration features that are baked in as @SimEyeSee suggests.
Orca and Bambu Studio can coexist on the same machine so there is no downside to using both. If you know Bambu, you already know Orca, it is forked from Bambu so it has the identical interface and files are interchangeable. The key difference is in the many more features you get with Orca.
Bambu Studio
Orca Slicer
Don’t bother with the native Calibration function in Bambu. If you have a P1 series it only takes you to a lecture anyway. Use the Orca Calibration feature instead.
What you get.
The temp changes per level are baked into the model. No need to touch G-Code.
The tutorial page is also pretty handy in walking you through the different calibration features.
Bambu from time to time will borrow features from Orca but Orca is supported by fellow hobbyists with the creature comforts and quality of life enhancements that Bambu developers tend to leave as secondary. You won’t see a focus on Makerworld features since this is more something that promotes Bambu, the company rather than serving the user.
As an example of quality of life conveniences, Orca introduced two versions ago, an estimated time to completion which Bambu Studio still ignores. But there are many more features as well that are in some cases these are Prusa Slicer features that Bambu Studio decided to exclude that Orca put back in. You’ll have to go through the release notes to get a complete list of all the things they’ve added.

Thank you, I’m going to give this a try!
Well you do not need to try - At this point Orca is probably the one and only 
But if I then print than a Tower which can be broken (the only thing missing in Orca), I usually end up with the highest temperature specification from the filament manufacturer (but that doesn’t always have to be the case). For me, the internal values count a little more, but it depends on the usecase of the part 
Embedded photo of the first one I found:
Thank you all, esp @Olias @SimEyeSee @Hank . Just wanted to say thanks for the info. @Olias thanks for the photos, I was able to find the settings. So much more in here for calibriation then on the Bambu one. Even some settings I’ve seen oln videos like “Make overhangs printable” that wasn’t on the Bambu Studio either. Again, thank you!

And now, Orca has scarf joint seams, which if it works will be a great improvement.

It would be nice this feature also in Bambu Studio
Although this thread is a year old, I couldn’t help but notice that on Makerworld, this is yet another example of the sewer of me-too posts it has become. The site is now a wasteland of shìt you have to wade through to find anything of original value.
Here’s the search for temp towers. Do we really need 249 models? Seriously - this is all about bulk, not quality. I put the blame squarely on Bambu Lab - when you pay people for uploads and downloads, you create an ecosystem built to encourage a low signal-to-noise ratio. The result is the sewer it’s become. I wonder how many of these posts would exist without the payout incentive. Thingiverse had it right with simple community recognition, and Printables improved on that with a modest Prusameter while also making search tools far better than Bambu’s.

It’s the usual land grab. Youtube started out as garbage too, with people mostly posting their uninteresting birthday parties and such, and now look at it today:1000x better. The formula seems to be: first go for quantity, so Bambu can hope to claim the most number of printable models, and then ratchet up the quality. We’re still in the quantity phase. It’s a Highlander philosophy that’s driving a race condition: there can only be one, and it’s winner takes all.
What’s needed now is a better way to rank the good ones and possibly weed out the bad or merely duplicative ones.
