Carly,

Asides from the size, your model uploads to Shapeways just fine.
Shapeways have some software called Mesh Medic that automatically
checks models for errors and make repairs.
You can also download NetFabb Stusio Basic (free) for error checking
and repair before uploading to Shapeways. You can also use NetFabb
for measuring and rescaling.

Here's what NetFabb reveals;


I suspect that the parts are made up of individual surfaces that are
not all joined together.

Here is an example of the start of the problems. You took a 6 sided circle, made a copy, then subdivided it. Then you extruded and started manipulating the mesh to create a model. But the two circles edges overlapped which is not good. Similar problems like that happened. No big deal, being new to modelling is tough enough, without having to worry about the specifics needed also for getting a model printable for 3D purposes.

Netfabb prolly fixed the errors in a second so its worth uploading, as mentioned above.
