Virgin ABS is only a dollar or 2 a pound.. An injection molder would probably sell or give you 10 or 20 pounds. You would need a granulator to grind up the bad prints, unless they are really small.
 
You will need a spooler to wind the filament. Since the spooler changes the line speed as it winds up and gets larger, you will need a puller to maintain a constant speed. The puller speed will affect the diameter of the filament.
I would think a single fan will not cool effectively. ABS is not a crystalline resin. With no specific melting point, it will need rapid cooling to stabilize the stream.
