We just surpassed 1k MAU, so I’m real happy 😊

Look up a Pitney Flowmaster if you’re curious for more.

Collates the inserts into stacks, aligns and opens the envelopes, pushes the insert stack into the envelope, folds and seals the flap, flips the envelope, applies a stamp, prints addresses or data, reads the barcode, ejects any flagged envelopes, and finally stacks them all in a neat row.

I figured it would be a tough one.

These are mail insertion machines I worked on for several months as a mechanic. It’s a little blurry since that were moving, but here it is in action:

Interesting guess, but no.

Related to envelopes, but not for folding.

Spot on.

Lol, that’s a no. It’s for an industrial machine.

More of a “put all of this stuff together in one package” sorta machine. The wear piece does push something while riding in the tracks. Technically the tracks do have various depths, but that’s not too important to the general function of the assembly.

There is no cam type function in the machine. The assembly is solidly attached to the bar that moves.

The bar is aluminum and the square ish piece on the left is low friction plastic.

Closest guess so far! The track is correct. Not for manufacturing per-say, but definitely a complex machine.

Lol. It’s not car related. This is for a larger stationary machine.

Not quite. The assembly moves around for other reasons.

Other comment guessed the same thing. The bar controls where the assembly goes instead.

Pushing is correct :)

That’s actually getting pretty close. The main difference is that the roles are reversed: The attachment point controls where the assembly goes.

I’m afraid not. The only attachment point is the round hole on the right.

Hammer is the correct term, but that’s not what they are. They come from a machine.

Not for a piano. It’s more industrial.

Are you able to share pics of your collection?

I would say to go find some people. Go find a local gaming store, and look for something like a DnD or tournament group to join. Maybe look for some other sort of group: camping, biking, robotics, whatever.

Get to know some people, make some friends. Once you get to know people and get close to them, then you can open up about your struggles. Good friends will want to support you and help you out.

Find some people and then you won’t have to struggle alone. Plus, all the fun things you can do with them will be a good distraction from your addictions, and maybe, over time, your addictions will lessen.
