In this very cheap and quick project, I built a convincing DIY animatronic eye mechanism using CAD software, a 3D printer and Arduino.
Find links to the 3D models and code in the following instructable:

You can get the majority of the parts from an arduino starter kit like this: https://amzn.to/31Cj4bw although you'll need to buy some more servos (https://amzn.to/2P7R5ha). If you need to buy anything individually, check the following list:
Materials and Components used in this project:
Any Arduino board that can support 4 servos (check to make sure it has at least 4 PWM pins, most do) I used an Arduino Uno: https://amzn.to/2W2cPfT
4x SG90 micro servos: https://amzn.to/2W3ON4j
Joystick: https://amzn.to/2N0CGRk
Potentiometer (10k ohms is generally a good value to use: https://amzn.to/2o63ze6)
Push-to-make switch (Some joysticks have this built in, but its easier to control when its seperate: https://amzn.to/35UM55G)
220 Ohm resistor: https://amzn.to/2JcjaAe
Jumper Cables: https://amzn.to/2MCf9XQ
2 x M3 bolts or similar: https://amzn.to/33SsHEA
Stiff Wire (I used packaging wire)
Breadboard
3mm Universal Joint (This is the only part that isn't as easy to find, I bought them from this link:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5pcs-Rc-Boat-Stai... )
