Open MYR, LLC:

We are an innovative startup based in Syracuse, New York. We have a wide skill set and are driven to make novel designs and creations. We operate from a basement under a pile of prototypes and early concepts, yet from these humble beginnings we are putting together a Kickstarter campaign for a groundbreaking product.

To stay fed as we work late nights, we buy local produce and constantly cook new things. Our code releases are named after things we cooked while coding ie. 0.3.0 Pulled Pork and 0.4.0 Fresh Pastrami.

How we started:

We are like-minded engineers that found ourselves putting together a terribly designed 3D printer from a kit. After countless hours of tweaking, repairing and reassembling, we finally had something that resembled a 3D printer. After a couple of seconds of running a test print however, the printer failed catastrophically and became little more than abstract art.

Frustrated, we set out to design a better printer. The printer project was mothballed due to a lack of funds, however, we have had many ideas and a large enough coverage of experience to see any of them through. One of these ideas was an innovative wireless motor, which we decided to make our debut product.

Our Name:

The “Open” in OpenMYR refers to how our designs and software are open-source. The “MYR” in our name is an acronym of no meaning.
