Ok, first: your first layer height is too big, make it 0.1, second your 0.15 layer setting might be in conflict with what your actual lead screw Can do, as a norm use even numbers for the layers (0.1 0.2 0.3), third change your bed temperature to 70 at least for the first 3~5 layers and then if you want to lowered to 55 (I print all at 70). Fourth you dont mention extrusion temperature, but I assume is probably too high, go anywhere between 190 and 212 but not more than that.
So try this and let me know:
Layer height 0.2
First layer height 75% of layer.
Bed temperature 70
Extrusion temperature 210
Infill 10~20%
Infill to perimeter overlap 20~30%
Print speed 15~20mm/sec.
If you can modify support?
1 layer separation top and bottom
35% support infill
1mm thickness.
If you can't be sure to reduce the angle at which support is selected (usually 45) lowered some to increase the amount of support been placed.

I will tell you what I tell everyone that start in 3D printing: before you can run, you need to learn how to walk. Your first print cannot be a complicated piece, grab a calibration cube and experiment with it all you want, print a set of them with 5 degrees of temperature difference, pick the best one and using that temperature run a new set with different bed temperatures, once you know your best temperatures the run a set with different layer height, speeds, infill, perimeters, etc. Grab the cheapest filament roll that you can find and used it all testing, omce you conquer printing with cheap filament, printing with good quality ones will be just smooth and rewarding.
Anyone can give you a good setting that works for them and their printer, but even though it might work for yours too, it might not be the best that you can get. Also, those settings might work for an specific part but then you get to print something else and again the problems will come out and untill you find out for yourself which are the best settings for your printer and the material you are using, you will always depends on someone else advise.
Good luck.

If you don't want your first layer to be fatter than the rest just set the same height as the rest of the print.
If the imperfections you see are curling down you are printing too hot, if up too cold adjust accordingly.
You only posted one photo, take some more pictures from different angles so I can see better the whole piece.

Tolomo,
your part is on the edge of what can be printed without support, that might be one of the reasons for some of your problems . (this was what i was asking you) at 45 degrees you should be supporting the structure specially when the part is wide.
I set a leapfrog creator single in my slicer and created the 2 files I attached, 1 is with support and 2 without it, try 2 first and then 1 to see the differences, I tweak both files to what I think will be best for each condition. let me know how they come out.
