It worked fine for me, make sure you are doing "M" as a push towards you, as I also got M and M' mixed up.(M' is moving M layer to back, and M is towards the front.)

is that a typo then cuz I learned M' as the push

I just realized my post explained it really badly as both are pushes, consider it as moving the "U" center a certain way, with M' going to where B was and M going to where F was.

Is it just me or does this alg not work? I tried both variations.

I know this is unrelated but for this case, I would not recommend the M U one. I would recommend either the r U R' U' one or
S' R U R' S U' M' U R U' r' which is cool. (S' would be done with your left index finger going counter-clockwise and S would be done with your right index finger going clockwise.)

The one I use is convenient to learn, and is fast if you know how to regrip at the right time.

thanks guys, I like this one with the S moves much more. the M push was kinda awkward.

going to swap the color caps on my gan cubes today. the 11 m duo has very nice grippy/glossy plastic while the 11 m pro has slippery frosted plastic. I'm going to swap these and hopefully have a great 11 m pro. rip 11 m duo

i used to work with my father, so i would machine the pieces out
(hes a fabricator) and sadly no, i dont have any photos on my computer of them

I'ma back yp a little bit first:
The diff middle layers of the cube basically are considered oriented (and therefore move like) the layer with the Letter nearest to it in the English alphabet
S goes with F / M goes with L / E goes with D

oookay, so...
a little bit of aluminum polish on each cap
i mean "grain of long white rice" size amount
rubbed in firmly, evenly and thoroughly on each cap
will help remove much of the softer cheaper aka "frosted"
outer surface of the plastic and make it more polished

works well for me, and I use a microfiber cloth ...
$1.28/ 2pk at Walmart in the automotive supply section
You will might want to do 2-3 rounds to get the finish where you want

I did that on my RS3M v5 (3x) and it looks shiny like my Super RS3M v1 that I've done hundreds of solves on

I have also seen a method using copier/printer paper
which requires a lot more hand+arm strength to do but work well
(will let you know if/when I remember dude's name lol)

[Edit:] you might prefer the copier paper method
it does help avoid getting the aluminum polish into the gaps between layers on the cube
which is a headache and makes you gotta take the cube apart and clean all that polish outta there !)
even tho
it does make you bear down kinda heavy on the cube while pushing each face across both sides of a sheet of the paper
but
you can see the colored (hazardous to your health) plastic microparticles (aka microplastics) coming off on the sheet of paper
and that's kinda cool too

I'm probably just going to use it a lot so that the frosted layer goes away.

microplastics bro... fr
also, Michal's printer/copier paper method works well

I had to solves today that had oll cases that I knew so that was pretty satisfying knowing that I was able to recognize them and execute them. one was a 16 and the other was an 18 so slower, but I didn't choke.
