What is flipping arrows?
Flipping arrows is puzzle. The goal is to turn the dices to match the goal you choose.
The goal?
• To have all the top faces white
• To have all the top faces gray
• To have all the top faces white/gray
• To have all the top faces white/gray with the colors in the same direction (more difficult)
• To have all the top faces with the same color and the arrow in the same direction (very difficult)
How to turn the dices?
The top face of a dice have one or two colors and an arrow. You can rotate the dice by 1/4 of turn in the direction of the arrow.
Select the dice you want to "flip". The direction of the arrow, indicates the direction of the rotation. Rotate the dice by 1/4 of turn. The dices in the direction of the arrow will also rotate by 1/4 of turn in the same direction of the first dice (no matter the direction of the arrow of theses dices). If the dice is on a side and the arrow face the outside of the board, only the dice rotates.
I attached a full pdf manual with the stl files.
How many dices combinations are possible?
• On each face, an arrow can have 4 directions
• A dice have 6 faces
• There is 9 dices on the board
(4*6)^9 = 2 641 807 540 224 combinations
Some combinations are simple to solve and others much more complicated.
The complexity will also depend on the goal you have set.

The 9 dices are printed with 2 colors. Layer 0.2mm. Infill 20%. No brim. No support. For best results, change the color at 10.2mm.
For the board and the cover use the same parameters.
