To find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the curves \( y = 2x^2 + 1 \) and \( y = 2x + 12 \) around the x-axis, we can use the disk method, specifically the "washer method," since we are dealing with two curves that define an inner and an outer radius.

### Steps:
1. **Find the Points of Intersection:**
   Set \( y = 2x^2 + 1 \) equal to \( y = 2x + 12 \) to find the points where the curves intersect.
   \[
   2x^2 + 1 = 2x + 12
   \]
   Rearranging terms:
   \[
   2x^2 - 2x - 11 = 0
   \]
   Divide by 2:
   \[
   x^2 - x - 5.5 = 0
   \]
   Solving this quadratic equation using the formula \( x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \):
   \[
   x = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 4 \cdot 5.5}}{2} = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{23}}{2}
   \]
   Approximating values:
   \[
   x \approx 3.29 \text{ and } x \approx -1.79
   \]

2. **Set up the Volume Integral:**
   For the washer method, the volume \( V \) is given by:
   \[
   V = \pi \int_{a}^{b} \left( R(x)^2 - r(x)^2 \right) \, dx
   \]
   where:
   - \( R(x) \) is the outer radius (the distance from the x-axis to the higher function, \( y = 2x + 12 \)),
   - \( r(x) \) is the inner radius (the distance from the x-axis to the lower function, \( y = 2x^2 + 1 \)),
   - \( [a, b] \) is the interval from the lower to upper bounds of \( x \), which we found as \( x \approx -1.79 \) to \( x \approx 3.29 \).

3. **Express \( R(x) \) and \( r(x) \):**
   \[
   R(x) = 2x + 12
   \]
   \[
   r(x) = 2x^2 + 1
   \]

4. **Set up the Integral:**
   Substitute \( R(x) \) and \( r(x) \) into the volume integral:
   \[
   V = \pi \int_{-1.79}^{3.29} \left( (2x + 12)^2 - (2x^2 + 1)^2 \right) \, dx
   \]

5. **Evaluate the Integral:**
   Expanding and integrating:
   \[
   V = \pi \int_{-1.79}^{3.29} \left( 4x^2 + 48x + 144 - (4x^4 + 4x^2 + 1) \right) \, dx
   \]
   Simplify the expression within the integral:
   \[
   V = \pi \int_{-1.79}^{3.29} \left( -4x^4 + 44x + 143 \right) \, dx
   \]
   Calculating this definite integral will give the exact volume.

After calculating the integral, round the answer to the nearest hundredth as instructed.
