Anti Vibration feet not sticking.

The adhesive on one of the anti vibration feet came off of the rubber pad when I lifted the printer to move it. 

Any suggestions how to glue it back on so it will stay on the printer ?

I used Scotch double-sided tape. It's held better than the stock adhesive.

The double-sided tape I tried as a replacement did not want to stick to the rubber either. Roughening the rubber surface with fine sandpaper helped; the feet have stayed in place for two months now.

Yeah, i've had the same problem: two pads did stick, on other two adhesive popped off. I thoroughly cleaned feet with IPA and used scotch double tape.

I had the same problem with my kit version.
I also used double-sided adhesive tape for the four rubber feet. The adhesion result was much better.
However, the movements when printing are too massive for me and the whole table wobbles.
The fastest and best anti-vibration solution is in the original printer packaging.
The shockproof foam is ideal for absorbing the strong vibrations during a 3D print.

For me the best solution ... unexpected but very functional.

same here. after cleaning the rubber pieces with IPA i managed to get the double-sided adhesive tape to stick. 
@prusa: the tape you are using is not very sticky at all. please change it and clean the rubber before attaching the tape.

They must be aware. Here's a picture from the assembly instructions (step 3.38) where the foot has already come off halfway, very early on in the assembly: 😉

Honestly, these feet are pretty universally terrible. Mine are leaving black marks all over the table the printer sits on. Just placing the printer down and picking it up some time later leaves perfect black outlines of where the feet are.

Absolutely worthless.    I used some VHB tape, but the rubber needs to be roughed up a bit.

I had an early Core One that came with 2 long strips that went the length of the Core one.  They were OK, but I did go to the squash ball feet.   I like it better.

I went with gluing them on with Gorilla Glue Clear Grip. Bonds quickly and the feet are definitely attached. The adhesive tape that comes with the feet is a joke
