ABS is not one material but a whole range of different materials some easier than others and some that seem not to be printable at all. There are a number of ABS FILAMENTS using a low warp technology that seem to print much more readily than the basic brands. Even these brands require a little more care than PLA. One of the most important elements is a draught free printing space which usually means an enclosed printer!
I have been printing medium sized object in Low Warp ABS -either 3Dfilaprint's ABS-x or Ooznest ABS-pro on both an Eder-3 and a TwoTrees Sapphire pro using the same profile
If it is any help :-
Extruder 250-255 C
Bed 80c
Bed material Tufnol sheet sanded 240 grit and coated with 10% solution of ABS filament dissolved in Acetone.

Making my own enclosure
Can I make my own enclosure out acrylic sheets, because acrylic acts as an insulator and has a melting point of 160c. Should I do it? Because I don't feel like paying $150 for one.

I don't think it really matters what you make the enclosure out of IMHO. A big cardboard box would probably do the trick but you wouldn't be able to see the print progress. The main criteria I think is that it is draught free, just remember that you will have an enclosure full of toxioc ABS fumes when you open it.
