I think 3d printing is a silly way to make lower louver mounts. But sadly, it is trendy as a cure-all these days. I made a couple sets of these lower louver mounts over the years, using parts from the good old fashioned hardware store. I screwed a slotted nut to a pan head screw through a piece of aluminum flashing. I adhered it to the rear window with 3M VHB foam tape and caulked around it.
The nut/screw combo is kinda funny. You'll find them called "truss/slot post & screw" at the hardware store. The ones I used I think are #10 US screw size, which means the barrel of the nut portion is about 1/4" OD. Check the link at the bottom for more details. This is probably not an exact match. I recommend going to a hardware store with your louvers and trying popping the louver lower latches into and out of some different sizes of these truss nut things to find the right one. Then buy a bit of thin aluminum flashing and bob's your uncle.
Here is a picture of one of the ones I've made, if everything uploads right.
