fixed-volume objects

This project is part of my Hackaday project at https://hackaday.io/project/11312-3d-prints-for-teachers-of-the-visually-impaired. A custom OpenSCAD script can create prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones with a precise volume and height. It serves as a valuable educational tool to demonstrate that a prism/cylinder has the same volume as a pyramid/cylinder of the same base size, but three times the height. Update: Feedback from users indicated that the tips of the cones/pyramids might be too sharp for comfortable handling, so they were modified to truncate the tip slightly. To make it even less hazardous, an option is now available to add a ball at the end, with the top of the ball serving as the apex of the pyramid.
