I used a 3 mm drill bit to make the holes. I don't know what would be the best dimension for laser cutting. Perhaps you could try different sizes and see which fits the best?

3D files and templates can be found here:https://grabcad.com/library/automaton-mechanical-p...I suggest you open the 3D assembly file and look at which part goes where. It's a bit tricky, but totally doable.

I made the Pikachu automaton by printing out the part drawings, gluing it on a piece of plywood, and then cutting it with a scroll saw. No issues with the assembly.
Yes, you can animate it in Solidworks by making a Motion Study. I usually just move the mechanism to different positions and take screeshots, put them on different layers in Photoshop and make a .gif.
