Bespoke heated and insulated cabinet for a resin 3D printer.

In the end I stayed with ultra low-tech. I still use the cardboard box the wash and cure machine came in, I have four large thick towels draped over the top and sides, and a single 40 watt bulb made for lighting the inside of an oven that will work up to 300 degrees. The inside of the cabinet easily reaches 90f and during warm up I have the bottle of resin inside the cabinet getting warm, and the build plate suspended several inches above the bulb to get warm too. Easy peasy, and dirt cheap!

If you ever do want to go with foam insulation, think about using the foil covered polyurethane foam. That's what is used inside DIY active solar collectors. It can stand up to stagnant air temperatures near 200°F.

I will check out he price and availability of the foam. It would be a lot easier than to keep unwrapping the cardboard box!
