#Overview
This thing presents both Scalar M and Scalar XL 3D printers.

Scalar Family 3D printers are "scalable" printers.
Reviewing the idea of a reprap printer, a printer that can auto replicate and scale, we wanted to propose a 3D printer with plastic parts for you to print, and with a way to "scale" easily.

That's why we used 30x30 aluminum extrusion profiles as a base because:

• It's robust
• It's easy to find
• It's standard
• It's lightweight, afterall it's alumunum ;)
• It's rigid!
• It's easy to screw
• Many standard accessory parts already exist in metal such as metal brackets, supports etc....
• It's cheap.

#Remixed:
This thing is a remix from our original version:
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:441143
Many of you liked it.
The main idea remains, but we adjusted the overall size to something more standard, and we reviewed/remodeled all the plastic parts to:

• Have a better design
• Have stronger parts.
• Fix issues we had with large machines
• Reduce noise
• Increase Z axis threaded rod
• Increase X axis smooth rod diameter
• Implement inductive probe
• Handle wiring
• Upgrade heat bed system
• Designed a box for the electronics
• Get proper stepper motor lead wires length
• Get a proper place for the Extruder
• Improve the belt tensioner system on both X and Y axis

Mainly all technical information can be found on our website:
http://3dmodularsystems.com

But here is a summary of the main characteristics :

Scalar M :

• Medium build platform: 200x300mm heat-bed
• 12V 240w silicon heat-bed with a 3mm aluminum print surface
• AluHotEnd V7 semi metal hot end as default with 0.4mm nozzle
• Built-in blower fan
• Built-in LCD and SD card support
• Built-in spool holder
• 360W 12V industrial power supply
• Inductive probe for bed leveling
• built in tensioner
• Plastic parts available for different hot ends: E3D, AluHotEnd and Prometheus V1.1.
• Can be upgraded into Scalar XL printer

##Scalar XL:

• Big build platform: 400x300mm heat-bed
• 220V 700w silicon heat-bed with a 3mm aluminum print surface.
• E3D V6 fullmetal hot end as default with 0.6mm nozzle

• Can be downgraded into Scalar M printer

#Scalability:
Because you guys have different ways of life, events happening and so on, we wanted to make sure that those printers can be scaled by only adding the necessary parts to upgrade/downgrade your printers.
This way whenever you want the printer to be bigger or smaller (who knows !) then we have a kit for that:
We already have 2 expansion kits that we will release after the Kickstarter campaign:

• 1 Upgrade kit to convert a Scalar M into Scalar XL printer
• 1 Downgrade kit to convert a Scalar XL into Scalar M printer.

And we are also working on a "boxed" version of each model, and of course an upgrade kit for each so that you can go from any Scalar family 3D printer into the "boxed" version of it without buying a new printer. Just reuse the parts you already have and add what is missing.
