I was thinking about plexiglass and 1X1s but im up for any other options too. The cheaper the better as long as its safe.

I built my own iguana cage easily and cheaply. They need a lot of ventilation. Use PVC tubing and make 6 frames...top, bottom, and sides. You'll also have to make a door. Make them as big as you need. Attach them together with plastic zip ties (you can get a bucket of them at Home Depot). You thread one end through the hole on the other and pull tight, then cut off the end. Then, buy plastic mesh, usually sold in rolls in the fence department. Cut panels to fit your PVC frame. Attach the mesh to the PVC with the ties. Attach the door to one end so it swings open. You can use velcro ties or a piece of rope to tie it shut. You can also use a piece of the mesh to make a shelf or hammock in the cage. Mine was big enough to put a kitty litte pan inside for a swimming pool and place to poop in! Hope you can visualize what I'm describing. Just think it out! I'd send you a picture, but I gave the cage away!

An iguana needs a really big cage. There really is no "cheap" way to build a quality cage. 1 X 1 and plexiglass should work, but take into account the cleaning aspect. It will need to have a bottom that is easy to clean and can be disenfected.

that's easy just buy one, beacause all the materials you would need will end up costing a whole lot more money than just buying the cage and it is alot less work.
