How much space does the i3 require on the Y axis?

I'm looking at buying a workbench that is only 24" deep and has a raised lip of undetermined height on the back. Based on my previous printer I'm assuming that the Y axis requires at least 26".

If my assumption is correct, how far back are the front feet from the front of the printer? IOW how far forward can I move the printer before it falls off?

For the i3 MK3, a total front-to-back clearance or shelf of 19" will allow for the Y axis to overhang the back at its most extreme position, while also allowing not only the front supporting feet but also the LCD display to be within the clearance of the shelf.
