I found that there is well known idea to use squash ball for 3d printer feet for anti vibration.
I made this model for my Prusa i3 mk3 by myself, so this is not really a remix but pretty much inspired by existing nice designs such as https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3385254
I use "Double yellow dots (softest?)" balls and it works well so far.
You will need 4 sets of T-slot nuts and M5x12 bolts to fix them on the frame.
There is 45 degrees overhang but was OK to print without support.
*Please note when you use this for rear-left corner (where PSU locates), you will have to relocate the PSU. I will post a brace for PSU replacement, but some others also should work out. →Posted https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/63039-black-psu-replacement-brace-for-prusa-i3-mk3s
Update(30.01.2022)
Since some T-slot nut has an extrusion that interferes with this part, I cut it like the picture below. if you have some assembly issue, please check it.

3Dプリンタの防振のためにスカッシュのボールを脚に使うアイデアを知り、Prusa i3 mk3用にこのモデルを作りました。既存モデルのリミックスというわけではありませんが、https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3385254
などの素敵なデザインがとても参考になりました。
「黄色の2ドット(一番柔らかい?)」ボールを使っていますが、今のところ良い感じです。
フレームへの固定のため、TスロットナットとM5x12ボルトが各4個必要です。
45度のオーバーハングがありますが、サポート無しでプリントできました。
注意:これを左後ろ(PSUがあるところ)に使う場合、PSUの移設が必要になります。
PSU移設時用のブレースも投稿予定ですが、他のデザインでもOKだと思います。→投稿しました https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/63039-black-psu-replacement-brace-for-prusa-i3-mk3s
