This is a watermelon generator that allows you to create all kinds of stylized watermelons. It is mainly created with 3d printing in mind but can also be used for anything else. 

It also comes with a wide selection of already exported 3d printing ready files

To use the generator you need Blender 3.4 or later, it is completely free here: https://www.blender.org/download/
Simply open the .blend file in Blender, you find the basic instructions inside

For 3d printing here are some notes:

They can be printed with any printer in multiple colors by easy to snap together parts.
Printing a watermelon works as follows:
- Print your red part, this can be multi color with seeds, split into seeds/red or holes for putting filament inside
- Print the green part, this can be a single green color or a green part that is split in two parts.
- Finally print the white part (its a variant if the green parts is made up of 2 elements)
(There are also green parts that work without any white part inbetween)
- Simply snap the parts together (no glue required)
I recommend printing multiple parts of a color at once
There is no support required but you might want to print with brim for the thin parts.
The tiny watermelons also have red parts that come with a keychain hole or a magnet hole (10x2mm magnets)

You can also find this and more of my 3d print able models on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/davision3d/designs

The watermelon is widely known as an symbol of solidarity with palestine. If you are going to a protest the 3d printed watermelons are a great thing to hand out or just wear yourself as a sign of solidarity. They could of course also be used as art for anything.
