Can't extrude main body of dxf

Can't figure out why I can't extrude the main body of this dxf, I keep getting "failed to regenerate properly: Failed to extrude selections, check input".
I converted a JPG to DXF using inkscape bitmap tracing. Most images I did extruded just fine, a few kept getting this error. Google would suggest zero thickness parasolid limits but I can't find where this would be happening in this image.
Any help appreciated! https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a2b36c97ff6689efa267d1d8/w/f5d3152a712316c52f4bd51b/e/d481cf3d068e7886beae97f6

If you use the Profile inspector in the sketch you'll find a number of "Loose ends"
You need to tie up those loose ends… :) i.e. make sure that the vertices are coincident, and in some cases that there is no extra very short segment. Drag on one of the points as highlighted by the Profile inspector, then drag it back to make coincident.
I also found one other intersection between segments that needed making coincident.
You can get this pretty quickly:
Thanks for the quick reply and pointing out the Profile inspector - that's really helpful. I cleaned up all the loose ends and now it's still giving me the same error when trying to extrude. Any tips here? You obviously made it work.

Secret tip to get to the bottom of sketch problems for imported sketches like this…. section it off with as many lines as it takes to narrow down the problem… like this. Your problem is stemming from a few lines like the second pic. teeeennnyyy tiiiiny lines hidden in the endpoints. remove those, maybe make the ends coincident and it'll extrude.
