This is a 6" globe that goes into the ceiling light fixtures from the early 80s. The "socket" that the opening of the globe fits into is about 3.25".
We had 3 of these made of frosted glass when we moved in and they are all broken. Decided to have a go at making my own. Looks like the glass ones are available on Amazon:

Printing it is actually a bit tricky. I printed with the opening on the print bed with a brim and no supports. In Bambu studio, I used variable layer height to get thin layers in the most overhung sections to prevent loops getting printed in midair. I also used fuzzy skin to scatter the light as much as possible. The bottom of the sphere (which printed last) didn't come out great - it barely succeeded and has some weird artifacts and holes, but it's good enough. It looks great when it is lit up.
I got vertical line patterns in the fuzzy skin which is apparently an issue with the orca slicer not producing truly random fuzz https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/issues/6228 but it looks deliberate so I'm fine with it.
