No matter which side the arrow is, it will always point right!
This is an ambiguous(or impossible) 3D arrow illusion created using perspective. The shape is designed so that, from the correct viewing angle, your brain interprets the geometry as an arrow pointing to the right. When you rotate the model around, the geometry changes in a way that makes the arrow appear to continue pointing right.
This model was designed to showcase perspective.
Two parts.
To assemble, push the stand into the hole on the bottom of the arrow.
Recommended Print Settings:
0.2mm layer height
No supports
0.4mm nozzle
Add brim if your printer has bad print bed adhesion
Different viewing angles can make the illusion weaker or stronger, try experimenting
