For some of these, I estimate the number of items the base and then multiply by the height. Is there a better strategy, especially for items that don't fit into distinct layers?

I did

V=pi×r²×h

and estimated:

r=4 (from some at the top left)

h=12

This gave 603. The link said too high, so realized I'd neglected packing factor. Google said that spheres typically pack at 64% efficiency, so I guessed 386. Too low.
