This problem usually means the ‘.bin’ file is not in the expected place relative to the ‘.gltf’. The correct location for these files depends on how you’re serving/hosting the webpage, not three.js, you’d need to check where to put “static” files for your web server

It might be easier to work with a .glb file, they’re self-contained and have no external references. You can convert the model to .glb losslessly at [https://gltf.report/](https://gltf.report/) or in Blender.
