So my SUNLU Filament Connector arrived today…..
And now I find out I don’t have a USB A charger with enough wattage to power the darn thing.
AAARRRGGGGHHHH. I waited months for it to arrive and …. fail.

Joe Chott @Ianbradbury Yeah this page has no mention of the requirement…
What does it need? I think my highest rated are 120watts over USB.
Ian Bradbury @Verxion - the documentation does not provide details regarding power requirements.
I found that plugging the USB into my docking station caused [a] my Mac to throw an alert saying a USB device was drawing too much power, and, [b] while the SunLu connector woudl power on, it would power off as soon as I attempted to heat the device.
I ordered up a Belkin 2 x 12w USB brick. Should arrive later today. Fingers crossed it does the trick.
Siff @Ianbradbury @Verxion The one that I just received specifies an input requirement of 5V 2A in the manual. I plugged it in the 2.4A USB A port on my power brick and it worked without issues.
Ian Bradbury @Siff - A Manual. I didn't receive one of those, anyhow, It does also specify the 5V 2A on the underside of the device, which of course I ignored.
I really need to update my short review of the device as after attempting to join filaments I have thoughts.
