Help - Transform a surface into a wall

Hi folks, I'm building a custom case, and finally, I have the surface positioned exactly where I want it. But I'm having difficulty transforming it into a wall (2mm thickness). I already tried using the Thicken tool, but it didn't work.
Any suggestion?
Here is the project:

Thicken will only work on surfaces with good curvature. You will need to re-create the surfaces so that they don't have extreme curvature change. Select the surface then press (Shift + C) to view it's curvature combs.
Did you complete Onshape's Advanced Surfacing Course that I mentioned the other day? This will teach you how to do complex surfacing like this.

To add to Michael…. Surface curvature like this does not play nice with things like thicken and shell attempts.
