I don't have Blender in front of me right now, so forgive me if a few of my directions are a wee bit off, but I'll try to get my point across.
If you're editing your model, select all the faces that you want to thicken and go to the 'mesh' tab and then the 'scripts' submenu. There should be a "solidify wireframe" option that may help and one I don't remember the name of off the top of my head... Play around with those, they can thicken your mesh a little. It isn't an exact science, so you'll likely have to do a little cleanup after it's done, but it will give you a good start. That's what I do, anyway.
EDIT: This thread describes it a little better: http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=2618&a mp;start=0&S=1cb7ea9e58a3b930719e21ea6ad8131c
Ray716, could you link to that Shapeways Blender tool please?

When in doubt... Duct tape!
