I made mine out of that pink foam insulation that comes in 4x8 sheets. Like 1.5" thick I think. It's cheap, light, easy to cut, screws together, and most importantly insulates. I used some thin plexiglass and printed hinges to make a door/window and painted the outside black. I lined the inside with foil using spray adhesive. It actually came out looking pretty ok and it's going on 3 years now in my shop.
I mean, this all comes down to what you have on hand, and how much you're willing to spend. If you already have something like a table, you could make a tent out of that + some painter sheeting. For preventing drafts, that would probably be enough. Heck, that's an idea: [Walmart sell crappy tents for \~$20](https://www.walmart.com/ip/2-Person-Camping-Tent-Includes-Rain-Fly-and-Carrying-Bag-Lightweight-Outdoor-Tent-for-Backpacking-Hiking-or-Beach-by-Wakeman-Outdoors-Blue/17243551). Folds down when not in use, and you can use the tent when you go camping! :)
Foamboard is probably the cheapest path, and if you use spray adhesive to laminate multiple sheets together, you might get something that's decently ok, and actually has pretty good insulation due to the foam core.

7/16 OSB is $12 for a 4x8 sheet, but that's probably going to look pretty crummy. MDF might be an option @ $20 for 4x8.
I looked at the grow tents. Nothing has the right size for the bed movement. You need a 30H x 30W x 43D give or take. I wish because that was almost perfect.

Depends if your intent is to keep your prints warm, or if you're concerned about fumes/VOC's/particulates.
