Forgot to post this up, results of the alternative viewer, l’d bought last month.
So after some research, I bought an alternative vintage slide viewer which had similar internal components to the original Trident slide viewer.
The lens part of the viewer was what I was looking for, but on disassembling it, I found that the lens was slightly smaller than the Trident one.
So unfortunately this won’t be an option for future builders. Also, the lens itself is quite heavy, being solid glass, so a ‘resin’ printed piece would be preferable due to being light weight AND you wouldn’t have to worry about breakage and glass shards, especially at events!!
This was an interesting diversion though and as I do have some slides left to me from great grandparents, so it won’t be wasted.
