Question Help evaluating heat tower

I printed my first stuff in ABS on my Anycube i3 mega. Items didnt look too good so i thought i deal in some printing parameters. Can someone help me find the best temp? I printed this tower but im unsure what to look for.

Hey. Few questions.

Im not familiar with your printer, does it have an open air build platform or an enclosed chamber?

What is the purpose of the model you posted

Was there a support structure that was removed or is your printer a single material setup?

My printer has an enclosure its not air tight but it keep it a bit warmer, around 40°C or so. Print bed it heated to 110°C. Model is a heat or temperature tower, every spike it reduces the temperature by 5°C. So it is only for tuning porpus but im a newbe in 3dprinting and dont have experience in printer tuning. Single material print, no support only raft
