GATTACA

Every time I see those letters I think about the fact that I spent years not realizing that the movie Welcome to GATACA is a gene sequence.

... And now this is a thing you have just taught me.

Near idea! Have you considered making the "backbone" interfaces at a slight angle so that several base pairs begin to form a helix?

Or maybe a slightly spherical ball & socket connection to allow them to be twisted?

Yeah most printers should be able to handle small overhang angles like 35 degrees no sweat.

I bet you could get a decent double helix with that kind of angle.
