there are 5 bodies here.  Which one do you want to make into a solid?

picking one, there are areas of high curvature that will make a BRep surface offset likely fail:

You can try a Thicken in Edit Form mode, instead - that is more likely to succeed.  When I tried it with one of the bodies, the result had intersecting faces that would have to be untangled before converting to BRep, but that is not all that difficult.
