I think problems with plates way too often is not enough angle.
One thing I'm not a fan of is feeding a huge bucket full at a time, and is why I never have printed a base extension.....it's just not that hard to pour some more in, and IME, when things feed upside down it's most often because there's so many layers of cases....and they are forced upside down by a hundred neighbors preventing gravity from doing it's job.
