Space usage questions

Looking to get an H3C, but have questions about where to physically place it in my house. Per the “recommended” measurements, I would have to renovate my lab to accommodate the girth, or redo my countertop in the mud room where my K1 sits. Cabinet is out of the question (the one made for it) as floor space is at an absolute premium.

X1C currently sits in the lab with just enough space for a small UPS to sit behind it and have enough room to poop. Anyone want to share their realistic measurements for the printer area?
