Electron 3D Printer Help

What is my next step to activating my Electron 3D Printer? I got my LCD SD Reader to show characters. How do I get it to run the motors and be able to level the build plate and calibrate the machine properly? Also does the fan that runs at the filament need to be running constant or is it only activated when the unit is feeding filament through the extruder?

you should download and install repetier host, connects it to your printer, and see if you can get the print to home.
yes, the fan over the hot/cool end needs to be running continuously, otherwise your printer will jam

this thread maybe of help
