Scale scales the carving to compensate for shrinkage after the extrusion has cooled, it is not for changing the overall scale of the object, i.e. making it 50% larger/smaller.

Use netfabb Studio Basic, it's FREE and EASY to USE!

That is a better solution. Repetier Host and Slic3r both can scale and export STL's as well.
