MUJI File Box - Translucent PP Case


This Idea all started when I found out that the Alphacool 280 Radiator would fit perfectly into one of those File boxes from Muji:


315 x 145 x 237,5mmPolypropylene File Box - Wide [Internal measurements] 
314,5 x 144 x 30mmAlphacool NexXxoS HPE-30 Full Copper 280mm Radiator



I started investing more time into this small autumn project, and ended up with the following CAD assembly after 20+hours.

The File Box

So this File-Box is made by a japanese minimalism brand called Muji mostly known for their no-logo & no-branding products.

I discovored this File-Box at first at their Store in Berlin and fell in love with the matte black variant in the Ginza Flagshipstore this summer.

The File-Box is being offered in three different "colors" black, beige & translucent.

black only available in nihongo

beige & translucent in most of asia and western countries Global Site.

The finish overall is satin/matte, the surface is easily damaged by scratches.


Material & Durability

As you may notice here the wall thickness varies a lot 2[+.5]mm.

Polypropylene itsself as an material starts distorting at 55/130 °C/°F.

I have seen it buldging under the sunrays on a hot day, but return back to shape in the evening.

I dont think of buying an in-case display for this project, but heres an example what it would look like, wallpaper here.


more updates coming (very slow)


This Build will be mostly a Remix of my K1 Case, redesigned to look good in a translucent box.


Maybe u have stumbled onto those renders of the translucent Ghost S1 sometime ago, great inspiration.
