If you invest in a new build plate, take a look at G10 (Makers Muse did a video on it), especially if you are thinking of printing PETG.

Should you have a sock on the hot end? If so is it missing.

A little bedtime read. Lots of hints, tips videos.

Hope it helps in some way now or in the future.

I can only suggest trying mriscoc firmware (marlin based) as it is prebuilt. You just need to make sure you get the correct one.

To install the firmware, see PART 1 Chapter : Firmware Upgrade, to formatting, filenames etc. (assuming the neo has the same format as the original 3v2).

Bit of a bedtime read I'm afraid. Lots of info and videos in here if you wish to peruse.

See PART 1 Chapter : Probe Installation. If you can print, print the JST-XH connector and swap the cables over so you have the correct JST-XH plug rather than the two incorrect plugs. Edit: you will need a "prong type thing, thin screwdriver, needle" to be able to pull out the pins to plug into the new printed JST-XH Connector.

Is this what you are wanting to do?

Save EEPROM settings (optional)

If your printer is new and you have not really saved any EEPROM settings you don’t need to do this.  

Before changing any firmware, if you can, use a terminal (Pronteprint, Octoprint) and do a M503 and save the information in a .txt file on your computer.  This has your printers saved EEPROM details in it and you can reference any changes you saved to the EEPROM data later if required. E.g. Steps per minute, Feedrates. Especially if you have changed settings and saved them to EEPROM.  If you have calibrated your printer with callipers etc. you really don’t want to have to do it again because you did not save the information anywhere.

Yes I do use it myself and have done for 2 years. For a Ender3v2 it is a simple install as long as you select the correct file (see Chapter : Firmware Upgrade). You could install "Marlin" itself (https://marlinfw.org/), but you would have to compile it yourself. Creality's software is very buggy.

mriscoc (it is a Marlin "port") is great for having the bed tramming wizard and the mesh creation (now with UBL).

If you read my guide you will see I recommend installing a probe and silicone springs as well as mriscoc. These three items alone will seriously save you so much time with trying to bed level and getting you first layer down. I also recommend ensuring your Ender is built correctly and it is worth reading through the guide and watching the linked videos to make sure your printer is built square and tight and that the cabling etc. has been checked,

I know it is a bit of a bedtime read, but it is worth it.

Type "ender 3v2 extruder blue wheel" into google EDIT and look at images. It's the big blue wheel you get with the printer to be able to turn the extruder/for loading/unloading etc. when the steppers are disabled.

Have you tried taking the blue wheel off the extruder (it just lifts off)? Mine clicks as it is spun left and right when it extrudes and retracts. Is that the clicking noise you are on about, or is the extruder skipping/slipping?

See PART 1 Chapter: Probe Installation, it tells you how to configure your offsets to work correctly. Hope it helps. It's worth reading the whole document if you fancy a good bedtime read.

Don't forget to do Chapter : Basic Calibration, once you get a good bed level print.

On the glass you could try wire wool, EDIT: As well as the razer blade. But be very careful with the wire wool to no damage the lead/paint. Maybe wrap it around a screwdriver or some other pointed instrument to get into corners that you can't with the razor blade.

Glass door, 3D printer (best you can get for your budget. Or if you are into 3D printing, a shelf and a second 3D printer.

Read from PART 1 Chapter : Probe Installation. Check you cables and if possible print the JST-XH holder. Install mriscoc and hopefully the guide will help you get where you need to get to. Don't forget to do the Chapter "Basic Calibration" once you have good bed adhesion.

See Part 2 Chapter : Ender 3v2 Printable Parts - Fan. Has an "OEM" fan shroud, you should be able to print PLA for now if you are not wanting to go to high temperature filaments or high temp enclosure e.g you are going to print PLA or possible PETG for a while.

You may want to look at something like the "Minimus" hot end cooling stuff on cults or other hot end cooling setups e.g. Santana or Hero Me v7. Depends on what you are after..... oh....too many options.....too many options...... too many options...... I can't choose... Stress....STRess... STRESSSSSSSS. Welcome to 2024....

How about ... See PART 1 Chapter : The Plastic Extruder Arm. - don't forget to do the Chapter: Basic Calibration afterwards.

or Chapter : Wet Filament.

EDIT: Assuming you have clean your glass bed well with hot soapy water and a scrubby sponge.

Also, if you can, invest in a probe.
