My 2yo knocked over the floor lamp in his nursery, and broke the glass globe.  I could not find anything on the internet to replace it, so I whipped one up in CAD with a little style, with flutes that look like cut glass or pleats.  It is 9.5" OD, 8.5" tall, the neck opening is 1.675", and the wall is 0.100" thick.  I printed it on a Bambu X1C with transparent PETG Basic filament.  I printed upside down, with the flat on the bed, at normal (0.2mm) layer height, with 100% fill via concentric infill.  All other settings are standard.  It took over 600g of filament, and 20 hrs.  I used support (the same PETG) over 20 deg, and it was a real pain to remove and left a nasty surface.  The print also had some defects, quite a bit of stringers, but I was able to clean it up OK.  When installed it kinda looks like a paper shade, and my wife likes it so that works for me!  I included the source Solidworks files so you can manipulate it if you want.
