Here is my take on a diagonal support system for the X/Z bridge of the Ender 3 family (and clone/compatible) printers.

This support system greatly improves the rigidity of the X/Z bridge in the forward and aft direction and will prove valuable specially on tall prints. As a bonus, it also adds 20mm of clearance from the top frame so that the Bowden tube will not get squeezed too much when printing at the higher Z position.
