24 inches is deep enough. I bought a 36 inch workbench, thinking that's what I needed, but when the printer arrived I found it fits onto a 24 inch workbench. Obviously the LCD display will hang over the front, though, but all four feet are on the workbench.

Neat and functional @fuchsr.

Now I have a delivery prediction I am designing mine but it will have to be built in place.

The minimum space at the rear is dictated by the overhang of the flament tubes but is that enough to access the back for maintenance? - and how often do you need to get back there?

Cheerio,

It's really not enough space. I have to pull the printer or the workbench forward. But then again, the only time I had to get back there was to read the serial number. Thus my pro tip: take a picture of the label!

I have mine sitting on two IKEA Alex desk cabinets and it fits well. The display hangs off the front by maybe an inch or inch and a half.

Mine is on a lack, for anyone looking for a cheap solution. A >3000€ printer on top of two stacked $10 lack tables. Yeah, nothing wrong with that!
