No worries! I don't have a 3D printer either. I used the 3D files referenced by the OP and then uploaded the eye file I wanted on a company called WOMP's website. They were good as the software was easy, and allowed me to choose the colour resin I wanted (red) and the smooth, glass-like...

I used a Humbrol enamel paint, but acrylic would be just as good.
