Far be it from me to dissuade anyone from applying the solution of 3D printing to any problem, but why not just buy one of those universal suction-cup-type flag car flag pole mounts and sticking it to the hatch itself?
Or maybe get a trailer hitch installed and use one of those flag poles that connect to a trailer hitch.
Mind you, those things I'm talking about tend to be made of steel. Definitely wouldn't want your flagpole coming off on the highway or atop a bridge and impaling someone in another vehicle.
And, I'm not sure what legal considerations there might be for this venture, so it might be best to do your research. I know in my area, if anything sticks out too far out the back of your vehicle, you're legally required to add a red piece of cloth or something. There are probably maximum lengths you may be allowed for a flag on your car.
If you insist on a 3D printed solution:
You know. Just... be careful about the whole endeavor.
Thank you, this is useful advice
