How to chage temp on Temperature Tower blocks?

My project is printing a temperature tower. It is set up in already stacked blocks of A through H and each block is supposed to be printed at a different temp. How do I make block A print at a certain temp, block B a little cooler, block C a little cooler yet and so on in Prusa Slicer? Thanks for any help!

In PrusaSlicer 2.2.0 you can do it this way:

For now, you need to adjust the "Printer Settings -> Custom G-Code -> After layer change G-Code" (only visible in expert mode) to:

;[layer_z]
{if layer_z == 01.6}M109 R260 ;temp change{endif}
{if layer_z == 09.6}M109 R257 ;temp change{endif}
{if layer_z == 17.6}M109 R255 ;temp change{endif}
{if layer_z == 25.6}M109 R252 ;temp change{endif}
{if layer_z == 33.6}M109 R249 ;temp change{endif}
{if layer_z == 41.6}M109 R246 ;temp change{endif}
{if layer_z == 49.6}M109 R243 ;temp change{endif}
{if layer_z == 57.6}M109 R240 ;temp change{endif}

Adjust the "layer_z" numbers to the layer height on which you want to apply the new temperature and change the "R" value to your set temperature in °C.

Thank you so much and sorry for the delayed response. I am using a .8MM nozzle and the print towers I have found seem to be for a .4MM nozzle. The perimeters for an .8MM nozzle are very different from .4MM and is a real challenge. When I look the tower in the slicer it's is a total mess due to my larger nozzle. If I increase the scale to 200% it looks a lot better but not perfect. Am I on the right track increasing the scale? Thanks again!
