After some research and reading the manual of my Ultimaker 2, I found that the missing element was something to make the glass build surface tacky so the extruded plastic would stick. Interestingly enough, to me and maybe to anyone reading, all it took was a fifty cent tube Elmer's glue stick. The very same glue stick my kids use for arts and craft in school.
So, I applied what I thought was a thin layer of the sticky stuff to the bulls surface, and decided to make the default build, which is a 3D model of the Ultimaker logo. It took about an hour to finish. My kids and I would poke our heads in to see the progress.
Excited by my success, I decided to go back and try printing the 808 cube my brother had created. Unsure if I had to do anything to prep the surface, so I decided to plow ahead, and print as it was.
Success again!
This one took about an hour, too.
